Been busy lately,
but we are heading to Yo-se-mite...this is how my mother always said it.
I will blog with tons of pics when we get home, but I will leave you with some enjoyable vintage Yosemite memories from the past.
Vintage valley floor tour bus
Firefall from Glacier Point...
they stopped doing this years ago for obvious reasons
Another shot of the firefall from Camp Curry on the valley floor
Glacier Point lookout
Yosemite Lodge
Mariposa Grove of big trees
Historic Wawona Hotel
This is my daugter and I and our boys in the Merced last year
We will stay for one week at Wawona in a private house close to the Merced river...
yes I've heard it's raging now,
and...
yes I know that so far this summer 8 people have died in Yosemite, but I have been visiting every year for most of my life and I know what I am doing...
YIKES!!!
See ya in two weeks!
7 of you say...:
We will be waving as you pass the turn off for Hwy.190/Springville.
It will be warm, but cooling waters & big skies await you.
Had the opportunity to do some archaeology work at the Wawona Lodge a few years back. It was great fun. The staff at the lodge brought a tray of cookies and lemon-aid every afternoon. Can't beat that.
Thanks for your post.
ooh have a wonderful time...miss you!!!!!!!!!
I'm loving all these retro blogs. I found your through Vintage Housewife. I love looking at your Yosemite retro pix. I group up in the Southwest and saw plenty of those kind of pix which I now love looking at. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new follower :)
Yeaaa! Sounds fun! So glad you are back posting! Did you take the little trailer?
Wonderful, you girls have a wonderful time, you deserve it. Can't wait to hear how it went.
