Some good 'ol times around Yosemite
Hey all! First post here, and I've just got to say that this is an awesome site! It's been a pleasure reading about the various trips and expeditions completed by the folks on this board.
I currently live in the eastern U.S., and what a privilege it was to experience the wonderful beauty and wide open spaces that you western folks have been blessed with. This trip though the heart of California brought back fond memories of sights my family and I witnessed during the four years we spent traveling the U.S in our '84 Buick. Having been in the Philippines for 8 years prior to that, I think I can say I've definitely been bit by the travel bug. It's always nice to experience new cultures and see new things. I look forward to reading about other members' trips and sharing about my own on this forum. Thank you for the wonderful community of people put in place here.
I thought I would post up some pictures of a recent trip I took with some friends. While the trip pales in comparison to some of the wonderful trips other members have completed, I thought I would share my experience. This trip takes us from SoCal up to Yosemite National Park and was completed back around September of 2008.
Anways, enough about that, and it's time for some pictures.
The trip started out with us heading North on Hwy 395 out of Hesperia, CA. I really enjoyed the beauty of the high desert.
Along the way, we stopped at an airport just outside of Bishop.
One of my friends with us took some of her glider lessons here, and me being the aviation nerd that I am, decided to take a picture of the place.
We weren't roughing it terribly, and decided to rent a couple of cabins just outside of Oakhurst, CA.
