August 8
Total Driving 35 miles
Woke up at had a slow morning and got everything organized
Chillier then Arches, Zion, the Grand Canyon and Death Valley so Laura was starving for some heart. And once she’s asleep she’s out. She literally knocked me off the air mattress three times onto the freezing ground. I think it was unintentional but who am I to know.
We then drove down to the Yosemite valley with a stop down at the bridal veil falls which Laura was anticipating being a dud and boy was she right just kind of a trinkle coming down kind ridiculous after waterfalls in Zion during torrential rain. And then we checked out the visitor center and collected another couple of stamps. We are just racking them up watch out world here we come. And then it was time to see the Yosemite Falls, which is supposed to be the tallest waterfall in the US, and it was such a dud as it was more like Yosemite Walls as opposed to Yosemite falls we will have to come back in the winter. We then checked out the Ansel Adams photography gallery after a nice short hike to check out a bridge with a great view of half dome and the valley. Ansel Adams had some nice stuff but we have some great pictures so far on this trip.
We had a really nice picnic in front of El Capitan which is about a 3600 foot straight granite face wall that people actually climb and sleep in little slings because it takes so long to climb.
Then it was time for one of my favorite parts of camping CAMP NAP said in Jim Gaffigan’s hot pocket voice. And a relaxing dinner followed with a campfire and just spectacular stars. The stars here blow away the stars everywhere else. It really is quite the sight.
Random thoughts about
Bear bin: They are hard-core about their bears here. They want all food locked up. All hygiene products locked up and are big on speed to make sure you don’t hit any bears. It’s really intense certainly something to think about at night when you are sleeping.
Lacier Port a Potties cleaning: A septic tank broke so we are using port a potties. They are better than pit toilets but I saw a lady clean them today and she didn’t wear gloves I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit. How could you clean those foul things without gloves?
