Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley...

Backpack trip.

I was nearly orgasmic when I scored a last gasp permit for this 30 mile in 3 days (mostly downhill) stroll.

The amble turned out to be better than I thought it would be. I found peaceful and lonesome campsites during a California BUSY Labor Day Weekend.

Isn't that what a wilderness experience is supposed to be? 

Those are my feet at Bernice Lake. Another tough day on the trail in Yosemite NP.

Gaylor Lake Basin...

A short and sweet (like me) hike to a two blue and cool lakes. There's remnants of silver mines up there too. Don't venture into them though, you might get shafted! 

No Clouds at Clouds Rest Overlook...

On this 14 mile (uphill both ways) hike. I was looking down from 9,926 feet to Half Dome. No matter what angle or altitude you view this granite gargantuan from in Yosemite, your eyes are ratcheted upon it instantly. It's an "Awww!" magnet.

Here's a shot of me not too often seen. I'm sitting down! It happens every now and then like a total eclipse.
