Tucker's Here!

I should have started writing back this when he first got here, but I didn't.
Well, time to move on now.

We went to Yosemite the other day.
​We had a blast!

Here we are at Yosemite Falls.
Tucker wants to get to the top one day.
​So do I.
I almost made it a few years ago, well about halfway up, but I had to come back down to see if I was going to get camping for the night. When someone doesn't show up they give it to someone currently present. I didn't get it so I had to drive home.

We wanted to see a lot more of the waterfalls, especially being as wet as they are right now, but things went weird right from the beginning.
We were driving over there and I had already checked, the roads in the valley were open.
But, the road into the valley wasn't.
So, we had to drive many miles out of the way just to get into the park.

Then, the very first waterfall, Bridleveil Falls, was closed off.
Looked like parking lot damage or construction, but we couldn't visit.
Wait, I'm wrong.
There were other falls before this, including one on the hwy in that was quite big, but I'm talking about the ones down in the valley itself.

​Anyway, we had lots of fun and Tucker has had his first visit to Yosemite.
Now it's time to prepare for the next.

We're definittley going again, but we'll get more prepared and so will Yosemite.

We've got some other stuff to do also.
How about Winchester House?

Oh, I bought a new domain today, just so I can grip online about the things I usually gripe about:
Obscene Greed and how it's destroying the world!

StopObsceneGreed.com

I haven't done anything with it yet, I just got it today, but I'll let you know what happens...if only I can get up the "whatever-it-takes" to make it work.

    I like hiking, backpacking, day-trips, cool events, and photography.
    ​
    These go well together.

    I also like cooking, and I make some cool, homemade spices.
