The Break Room / Re: California Trip 2024
« Last post by Grant Lamontagne on Today at 09:00:13 PM »In the interest of full disclosure, today was not the first time I have been to Yosemite.
We actually went last night after checking into our hotel. We didn't hike or explore, but we did drive through a bit of a monsoon to see what's called the Tunnel View which lets you see El Capitan, the Yosemite Valley and Bridal Veil Falls.
It was amazing. Much like my trip last year to Greece, I can share all the pics I want, but it is nothing compares to actually standing there!
The road to get there was a bit terrifying, with lots of turns that you have to navigate perfectly or else you will die from:
1- Head On Collision
2- Hitting a Majestic Tree that will outlive all of your descendants
3- Go Over the edge of a cliff.
Seriously Californians, what's wrong with guard rails at the side of the road?
Also, while I am complaining, why do you all love tailgating so much? I'm not talking about the parties, because I'd be in for that, I mean following a car on the highway with little more than 18 inches between your bumper and theirs? I watched a B train tanker truck do that on the highway outside of SF yesterday.
Anyways, back to the good stuff....
This morning we got up bright and early to go to Yellowstone and do the Grizzly Giant Loop. It's the smallest loop there, but as a disabled person I figured I wouldn't push myself too hard. This trip already has my arthritis flaring!
But more on that experience shortly- I need to get showered so we can go for lunch. We are STARVING!
