... to jackson to pick up his sweetheart and drive her to Missouri, Elisa and Andy went to South Lake tahoe, Elisa has work there and Andy is now headed for the Shasta, as for Heather and i, we are just gouing to drive around, see what the road brings us!

After 3 weeks with the kids we are heading back home. Our 1st stop was Yosemite National Park. We only had about 5 hrs to take it in but what we saw was breathtaking. The granite rocks are mostly flat and straight up. We were able to see Glacier Point, Bridal Veil, El Capitan and Tunnel View. As we were leaving the Park via the Tioga Pass we got a great view at Olmstead Point of clouds resting in the Miountains.
Next stop....Las Vegas,baby.

... parents named her after a guy friend of theirs and Meaghan's parents were thinking about naming her Lindsey except that there was this short bald neighbor guy named Lindsey and they thought it would be too weird to name their child the same name! We climbed with our twins in the Owens River Gorge for a couple days during the ...

... jumping and musical tires is always fun too.







Here's a picture of a mule actually mugwumped over a jump - I have never seen that at a horse show and I am guessing I never will again, either!  Ahh, mules.  :)



Well, only another 364 day to go until the next show.  I wait all ...

... figured we had a couple of climbs in us and so we headed down to the China Wall in the gorge. I led one route, Tim led another and then we were waffling as to whether we should leave or not. Tim said he would lead on more route and so we jumped on what we thought was a 5.8. After a lot of struggling, cursing and falling, Tim made it up to to the top of the climb, only to come down and have some other climbers ...

... is more of a US small town than the Alaskan small town..more big trucks, lots of Mexican restaurants - actually a peliphera of restaurants and hotels in general as it is touristy and easily reached by car..and the weather is bomber all year around!! There is a lot of stuff to do around here as well -not only the bouldering that is worldclass but also the sport climbing areas as well as several nearby trad ...

... these along on our walk to the lower Yosemity Falls which lies near the village. It is a short, beautiful walk but the temperature rises rapidly wich makes it a big effort. After the walk we make the trip to Tioga Pass the same way we have driven it yesterday. Today we skip many stops, except a stop just outside the park exit, because here still lies snow. In our country, the Netherlands, even in the ...

... incredible site. We continued on to Yosemite Valley and picked up a few souvenirs. As we were making our way to our hotel in Oakhurst, we came upon an incredibly awesome view of Yosemite Valley. I could have stood there forever just looking at this fantastic sight. There in front of us were the Bridalveil Falls on the left, Half Dome on the right, and El Capitan. El Capitan is a massive, granite Monolith ...

... vol gillende fans. En dankzij muziekzenders als TeleHit en Ritmosonlatino zingen wij inmiddels uit volle borst mee met onze favoriete artiesten. Want ook bij een vakantie van een jaar horen echte vakantie-liedjes. Kopietjes Om nou van al die Luis Fonsi's en Reik's meteen een cd te kopen gaat misschien een beetje ver. Ware het niet dat je in landen als Bolivia en Ecuador voor nog geen 1 dollar een perfect illegaal ...

... so full when we arrived it took a few trips around to find a spot to park in. We walked back to the registration desk to find a queue full of people waiting to sign it. It was like being in Walmart rather than a National Park, if this is how busy it is weekdays I was glad we didn't come during the weekend. Half an hour later a lady chewing gum behind the desk checked us in. We'd been given a bear-aware sheet while we were queuing up to tell us that we had to empty the ...
