Yosemite Trip...

Just got back from the Fall campout with the crew. This year we were lucky enough to get a chance to camp in Yosemite Valley. The weather started out nice with warm day and nights Friday and Saturday, then changed Sunday afternoon to rain thru Monday morning. I did a great hike to Vernal Falls on Saturday and a wonderful bike ride in the Valley on Sunday. On that bike ride is when we came across a bear in a apple tree having a snack. We were very close and watched for about 15 minutes before he romped out into the meadow to showoff and play. Had a beautiful ride on Monday over Tioga pass and thru Tuolomne meadows and then the June loop for fall colors. There was snow in the high country and a bite in the air, winter is close and so is skiing.
All most 11,000 ft.
