Again, being back “home” in the camper was a nice change and sleeping in it last night was pretty nice too, the lap of luxury in fact.
Today and tomorrow my plan was to see as much of Yosemite National Park as possible before heading up to Oregon. My first mission in the park was to drive to Glacier Point and soak in one of the grandest views in the world, a view second only to Lake Louise in Banff National Park in Canada, in my opinion.
It happens to me rarely, in fact, I can’t remember it ever happening to me so far from home, but on the walk through the parking lot I actually bumped into someone I knew, a former student of mine on vacation with her family. It was wonderful to connect with someone from home. We enjoyed the spectacular views of El Capitan and Half dome while reminiscing about our Chieftain days…
This vista is the jewel of the park, I saw no reason to leave so I stayed until dark……..as you can see, it’s quite a good place for people watching as well.
Painfully bucked up for a campsite in the park, it was just too far to drive to score a free spot outside the park boundaries……
