Yosemite Round 2

Here are some more pictures from the trip to Yosemite. The first two are from a random town off Hwy 6 in Nevada called Tonopah. Pretty weird little place but they had some old shanty buildings I got to explore around while we filled up with gas so it was cool. Some of the other pictures are of me holding Brian and Anne's latest creation... Isaac, hanging with part of the gang in the Mariposa Grove, some ghost towns, open roads, clouds for days, our campsite, wind turbines, and some of my gear... mostly just New Balance shoes and my sleeping gear.

I hadn't been to Yosemite since I was a kid so this little weekend trip was a bit overdue. I couldn't pass up a weekend hanging out in a campsite in the valley with several good friends I grew up with back in Newbury Park. I could talk your ear off about this place and how enjoyable it was. A few things I'll touch on briefly: We ate like kings (honestly ate more than I do at home thanks to Rob and Brian getting fanatical at Costco and stalking up two full size coolers), we didn't hike half dome but it will be done next time in the not too distant future, we found a great swimming hole off the beaten path on the Merced River and it didn't disappoint, the company was great and so was the weather. What more could a guy ask for?

*I would break down each picture but I won't get into it here. Shoot me a message or an email if you have a question. All pics were taken with my trusty iphone. I've been bad at bringing my G9 around with me since my phone is so convenient and produces pretty decent quality pictures. 

Yosemite Since I'll be heading to Yosemite in a few weeks I figured I would post this video. This place is stunning. I haven't been in several years so this trip will be memorable. If you haven't been hopefully this short video will help sway you to go sooner than later. The music is a little much in my opinion but its a great little flick. This guy knows how to capture Yosemite in a different way than most people do. Impressive.

My buddy Eric noticed this video when it was posted on a mutual friend's facebook page and decided to make me aware of its existence by tagging me in his response to it. I have friends who really know what I like when it comes to videos and timelapse. Thanks Eric for getting my back. I has actually just seen it the day before but of course I took the liberty to watch it again. Hope you like it as much as I do.

I need to get back to Yosemite.

One of the greatest treasures in North America. If you don't get it (and by "get it" I mean if you don't find yourself drawn to the wonders of National Parks) do yourself a favor and at the very least watch the Ken Burns Documentary on America's National Parks. You won't regret it.
