Our Blog

Read
at your own risk!
The chronological account of our travels. Like most
full-time RVers we'll babble on about all the mundane aspects of our daily
lives. Some will find it interesting, and others will use it as a
sleeping aid. Either way, we've done our part.

Saturday, August 23:
This
morning we headed out to Yosemite taking Tioga Pass to get there.
We stopped at one of the viewing areas before we got to the park and
smelled a burning oil kind of smell from our engine area. Mac
checked it out and we seemed to be low on transmission fluid. With
all the heavy work that the transmission would be doing today climbing
hills we decided to head back down to a gas station and get some proper
transmission fluid. We found some in Lee Vining and headed back up
the pass.
We have not been on this side of Yosemite before and it was quite
beautiful to see. We could see some patches of snow still up on
some mountains slowly melting. We stopped at many vista spots and
enjoyed the views. It is really an awesome place to see. We
also walked up to Bridal Veil Falls much farther than we had before.
During the late summer many of the waterfalls are either dried up or
just a trickle. But what is there is still pretty to see.
We had lunch at the
Ahwahnee hotel dining room It was quite nice, rustic yet
elegant and the food was great too. We also stopped at a visitor
center and a gift shop to pick up those obligatory souvenirs.
On our way up the pass before we reached the park we saw two deer at a
small lake. In the afternoon on our way towards the exit we had
stopped at a viewing area and happened to see a coyote. The coyote
didn’t seem to be afraid of being near the road and walked down the road
for a ways and then would go back into the woods and come back out to
walk down the road some more. It was incredible to see the deer
and the coyote today.
On our way home after visiting Yosemite we decided to eat dinner out
this evening. We stopped in Lee Vining and ate dinner at Bodie
Mike's Barbeque. It was very good food and the prices were very
reasonable. We talked a little to a couple at the next table and
found out some other interesting places to visit in the area.
I talked to my mom and found out that my dad is in the hospital on life
support. He has a DNR so they will probably be removing him from
machines and medicines tomorrow. We won’t be there to say good bye
to him before he passes away. But we are headed out tomorrow and
going there to be with my mom in this time of sorrow for us all.
Please pray with us that we have a safe fast journey.
