The trip that almost wasn't. Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to love the flow.
Water was the theme of this trip. Not only were we once again searching out from the desert for lakes, rivers, puddles, drops of rain, we were challenged with near show-stopping frustrations: a cold, the Prius that ran out of gas, an evening almost spent in the town of Barstow, the Fresno Whole Foods Fiasco, and a neutered Camelback. Beyond those obstacles and the Disneyland style crowd in the more accessible sites, Yosemite lived up to its promises of being breathtaking.
Powered by Nutella, gluten-free pretzels, and Tylenol Cold, I tossed out the map, let go of planning, and we still saw all the sites. First stop, Mariposa Sequoia Grove.
Next stop, a car-sick journey to the top of Glacier Point; the reward: pretty OK views and an ice cream bar! Yay!
Some of the valley stops, headed up Mist trail:
Last stop was Tioga pass, Tuolumne Meadows, and a long drive home.
