Coming up through the gold country

The views on the way to Yosemite are beautiful

El Capitan Mountain - a favorite of climbers

BridalVeil Falls

Ahwahnee Lodge -- a great place to stay

John at the patio

Ahwahnee Dining Room -- we had lunch

Marge waits for lunch

View from the patio

Many huge fireplaces adorn the Lodge

California ground squirrels

Very brazen and all over the place

This year California rivers are flowing well

Everywhere you look

Like lace

View from our motel window - the Merced River flowing out of Yosemite
