Post #100!

When you login to write a new post Blogspot nicely tells you how many posts there are so far. Hey, I'm at 100! Sure I'll never even get close to matching the blogging proficiency of Kel (all hail our family blog queen!) but I'm pretty proud of 100. But I digress; back to my ongoing account of Yosemite.

Tuesday found us once again back at Yosemite Falls. We rode our bikes out of Housekeeping Camp under cloudy skies and a random rain drop here and there. Those raindrops got serious by the time we were parking our bikes at the beginning of the paved walkway (no way you can call this thoroughfare a Trail) and headed towards the falls again. We took a detour to explore some cave like places along the way that were created by long ago rock falls. No bears in there, but Brandon had them wondering a few times. Yes the picture is dark and hard to see, rather like the cave they climbed into.


The walk up to the falls, Jenna using her dad's hat to keep the rain off of her head.
The climbing party just as I left them to continue when we reached a particular spot where I was pretty sure my phobia of heights just might take over on the remaining climb.
Everyone again, waaay up there.
The view back down to the bridge from the point just where I made it.

You can climb as far as your tolerance for getting wet and/or you issue with how high up you are will let you. By the time we finished the climb back down the rain had passed through and we were dry pretty quick. We collected our bikes and headed back to camp for lunch.
