Right…Now, I Feel We’re in Yosemite! I found myself quite happy with the Hetch Hetchy area of Yosemite, where we were staying, but I couldn’t help but wonder when we might see the iconic granite slabs of rock and stunning vistas that I had always associated with this national treasure of a park. Now we’re talking, I thought…this is the Yosemite of my mind’s eye. This entry was posted on Sunday, August 19th, 2012 at 10:28 pm. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0.

Since most of the stuff they worked on with Lego Mindstorms she had already done at home, she found the most thrilling element of the conference to be swag acquisition. She came home with bags of t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and strangely, a ping pong ball. Yes, a ping pong ball. And not just any ping pong ball! Subscribe in a Reader.

Now That’s a Big F#%$ing Tree! Or, Those are Some Tiny People! This is me throwing down the gauntlet at Evergreen Lodge: “I need a trail that is halfway between here and Yosemite Valley, that won’t be packed even though it’s June, and isn’t too hard or too easy.”. Their recommendation, without hesitation, was the Merced Sequoia grove accessed from the Highway 120 entrance to the park. “A smaller grove,” they said, “but it is the least traveled Sequoia trail in the park.”. All in all, a fantastic outing&#...

This is me throwing down the gauntlet at Evergreen Lodge: “I need a trail that is halfway between here and Yosemite Valley, that won’t be packed even though it’s June, and isn’t too hard or too easy.”. Their bark was a vibrant shade of rusty orange and it felt almost like a padded coconut, fibery and airy at the same time. All in all, a fantastic outing…well, except for the...

I Have to Get Up at What Time…and on my Birthday? As my birthday is nigh, I have decided to reflect on my celebration last year. For those of you who know me well, you would all agree it’s not an exaggeration to say that I am. So I grudgingly agreed to be rousted early on the anniversary of my birth. The day started with a quick breakfast and advice to dress for a sporting activity. We headed down to the car and I found it was pre-packed with our bikes. Hmmmm Where are we going. In Mosier, Oregon. I ...

Thelma & Louise, Butch & Sundance, and now, Mich & Zelda! Posted on June 19th, 2012 by Michele with 2 comments. What was to be a family vacation to Yosemite, in part to attend a family reunion, ended up becoming a mother-daughter adventure instead. Well, Zoe’s school put together an 11th hour Chinese exchange program for students…and their departure date? Condensed highlights of the drive to Yosemite:. We got separated several times. I lost the new camera Tom had purchased the day I departed on my trip.
