The snow pack has provided spectacular waterfalls wherever you look. The signature falls (Bridal veil, Yosemite upper and lower, Cascades) all have enough water for impressive displays. We hiked to the base of the upper falls. That gave us yet another perspective of these great falls that we can see from all sorts of angles along the valley. It seems like Kent must have taken 100 pictures of falls this past couple days. There were wonderful views of half dome, the Merced River, and the meadows on the valley floor. It made for some tired legs but well worth it.

We had to gawk with everyone else. There were climbers on El Capitan working their way toward the top. Lynn says “no way”. We saw some crazy guy crossing between the peaks above upper Yosemite Falls on a cable. These people are nuts. We heard at least one set of emergency sirens today too. Hmmmmm

A big rock slide on CA 140 into the park has caused two temporary bridges to be set up. It will take a while to remove the hill that slid down onto the road and into the river. I am thinking years, if ever.

We toured the Ahwahnee Lodge. It is a spectacular facility built in 1927 with huge rough hewn beams, stone walls and large windows to let in the panoramic scenery. There is a grand lobby and then a number of quiet, quaint “setting rooms” around the first floor. They have fireplaces. I mean FIREPLACES; they are big enough to walk into. Beautiful. The grand dining room is really impressive with is huge beams and tapestries. We wandered in and took some pics before diner hour. Hiking boots and jeans are not within their dress code….. Overall, it is a magnificent building in a magnificent place. Well done.

Plugged in the Motorhome while visiting Yosemite. 1st time we have been plugged in since March 10. It is kind of nice having 110v power again.
