Mono Lake Mammoth Lakes

Onsdag var den første rigtige transportdag. Når man medregner frokosten og et par fotopauser, var vi på vejen i over 10 timer. Endestation: Las Vegas! :-) Dagen startede med en tur tilbage op i bjergene omkring Yosemite, da hotellet lå på den gale side af nationalparken i forhold til turen mod Nevada. Første stop var …

Another lazy morning on the banks of the Merced River in Yosemite National Park was just the right start to a day of travel. Stephen got Phoebe and Blake their breakfast and entertained them with more fun tossing rocks into the river, while I packed the car for our next stop: a cabin in Twin Lakes for a couple of nights, north-east of Yosemite ear …

I have intended on keep up with this blog better, but I suppose that some is better than none. Looking back on the last year has amazed me beyond words. The level of personal growth I have experienced is astounding, the people I have been lucky enough to meet are the best treasures I could ever know, and I am coming out of the past year knowing …

Quatrième matin en Californie, notre deuxième dans notre super hôtel. Vraiment le confort de cet hôtel est incroyable. Un matelas et des oreillers de rêve et la douche en céramique, double jet! Wow! La chambre hyper bien insonorisée. Alors pour un hôtel Bien situé et tranquille, le River terrace est génial.

On se lève donc ver 6:15, on se …

Sitting at the Pie Shop at Sawmill, trying to boulder in the blazing heat (wondering how pretty sharp granite can be greasy) we started thinking about our next stop. By this time we were east of the Sierra Nevada, which means that getting to Yosemite Valley requires you to take the Tioga pass through the mountains to the valley in the west. Well as …

Am Samstag, den 07.07.2012 waren Ben & Franzi im Yosemite Nationalpark. Dieser Park gehört mit zu den schönsten und beliebtesten Nationalparks in den USA. Wir haben dort viele verschiedene Sachen gesehen --> schaut euch einfach die Bilder an :) …

Diana and I left the gentlemen working at the Lodge and took a drive down to Mono Lake. . It is a couple of thousand feet below Mammoth, which caused many popping of ears on the ride down. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was able to snap a photo lo9oking back at Mammoth. I had not seen it from this view on the way up – snowstorm hampering …

Da wir ja nur eine Strecke überbrücken wollen, stehen wir etwas später auf. Das Wetter: Natürlich fantastisch! Das Frühstück: Bescheiden und kontinental... Also geht es nach dem Auschecken und Anmelden für das Best Western Reward Programm wieder am Merced River entlang zum Yosemite National Park, diesmal aber …

MONO LAKE

C'est un lac salé , perché à 1945 mètres d'altitude. Le lac, ainsi que la quantité d …

En we zijn weer in de volgende plaats: El Portal, de poort naar Yosemite Park.
Ik typ gewoon mn verslag, ook al heb ik weer twee dagen geen wifi. Ja is er wel, maar voor 10 dollar per dag waarvan ik maar een of twee uur nodig heb. In de saaie lobby. Beetje zonde dus, dus ik probeer het te uploaden zodra we in San Francisco zijn.
