Yosemite and beyond......

Sorry guys I am going to bed now, we have several days of blog to catch up on.

including, 3 days in Yosemite (outstanding scenary)!

and today we are part way to Death Valley, that means that Paul has survived the bear but wait, there are rattlesnakes in that there valley!

More soon, if not tomorrow, then when we arrive in Las Vegas on Thursday.

p.s. I have been out of contact with the world for about 4 days, and today when I looked up the football scores and went onto the BBC/football page I was jumping around like a whirling dervish when not only did I read that we had beaten Man City but, also that we had beaten our own transfer record and signed Gyan for £13m. Carlsberg dont do web pages but.......

Yosemite - a picture postcard

On the 27th August, we left my Aunt's and headed for Yosemite, we had hastily booked our RV into a campground called Tuolhulme Meadows. The journey there was quite spectacular and as we know now was just whetting our appetite. I will pick out a few of our best photo's of the route:


As you can see Julieann and Victoria, playing switch along the route and a couple of buds being drunk along the way!

Bugger me! look at the size of that sweetcorn - Almost as big as "Bean Pot Dens"

The High Sierra Plains...

Getting closer:

Get on your horse and drink your milk! (more of that to come shortly!)



At last we reach civilisation and a little Pioneer Village, probably been here since the gold rush.


In all it took about 5 hours to get to Yosemite, however the views were fantastic. Although driving the RV was a bit challenging as the roads are very narrow and winding. You really need to keep your eyes on the road as they say!

Now we are in bear country, we did see a small one along the road on the way into the park, but did not manage to get a photograph of it.

We have now taken over 2000 photographs, my Dad will never be short of a picture to paint ever again!

We then needed to do a small detour as the road we were following had been buried during a recent landslide, if you look carefully you can see in this next photo where the road used to be!
