DAY 30 (Yosemite and ROAD CLOSED!)

My internet has not been reliable, so i'll keep this short!

long and short, went to Yosemite.... OH MY GOD!!!!! what a place!!! HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!!

and this was when it was rainy and foggy... i can only imagine how wonderful it all looks in the fullness of sun!

I was raining this am and rain at "my level" = snow at altitude! Rt 120 (a high elevation pass) got closed ~2 hrs before i got to the park.... no regrets.... Yos. was great.... just had to spend 1/2 the day spinning my wheels (sort of) trying to figure out what i should do... head north? wait another day? head south?

decided to head south as "locals" were saying weather up north was just as bad (or worse); since i had no reliable "net", i could not check weather for myself...

so here i am, in good old Bakersfield CA...

:(

heading to L. Vegas tomorrow... NO!!! no gambling for me!

will post pics next chance i get.... just too tired now (~12:15 am) and need to get some sleep... am living "off the play book" now..... need to make up some miles tomorrow!


------------ pics
- a river runs through it
- poor bears
- good thing there is a hole in that rock... (so the road can go through it!)
- that is a BIG ROCK!
- water fall...
- a mount. emerging from the fog (oh, is that my bike in the foreground?)
- look closely, there is a waterfall beyond the fog!
- another waterfall, this one also has a bike!
- another mount. coming out of the fog (bike in foreground)
- two mounts, fog, bike... - prob the BEST pic i'll take on this trip!

- what is looming behind and above those trees, within that fog?
- a wet bike and a confused ME back at the KOA (rt 120 closed, i need to regroup; head south)
