Yosemite

Yosemite
Sunday May 7th 58.5 mpg, 272 miles traveled Napa to Yosemite
Under Yosemite Falls, a plague at the place John Muir built a sugar pine cabin in 1969.
He writes “Climb the Mountains and get their good tidings nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into the trees the winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”

May 8th Mirror Lake,
under Half Dome, slush greenery, it’s spring in the mountains, water running off every surface, down sides, to the valley floor, waters on the move, huge snow falls and wet winters in the Oregon, Washington, N. California and the Sierras this year.
Everyone was ready for spring, how about you?
May 1 departed, it was still a bit cool in the NW, yet warm here, not quite hot, time to show off my legs!
Life could not be finer then here, not many climbers, but I hear in late September, when the granite cools, there's less water easy to climb. There are some climbers here they are from all over the world.
Camp 4, $5, first come, first serve or the Ahwahee Hotel $395 per night, if I stay, I am keeping the towels, soap and wall fixtures, please don’t check my bag.
Hiked half-way up Yosemite Falls, that was good enough, over the tree line, for a good view of Half Dome and the rest of the valley. I the sun I hope to get a good picture, close, yet I just miss, taking the top of Half-Dome off.
“As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.
I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can” John Muir
My nights here I sit in my chair above the camp, reading, drinking a beer, my view is of the Sentinel and the 3/4 moon over head.
Two full days is not enough, on to my wandering, it’s time to travel over and around the mountain passes, then it’s not my choice, its natures.
