Waking up in Yosemite!

When asked to go to Yosemite at the last minute, one naturally says, "yes!" Especially when campsites book up like 6 months in advance (to the hour) and hotels and cabins are not cheap. So last night, my two girlfriends and I packed up my reliable hatchback with two bikes attached to the back and were off. Sadly most of our drive was in the dark so I did not get to witness that immediate gratification of seeing the Yosemite Valley open up in front of you. But I could definitely tell there were some big mountains towering over us on either side. On our way here a mountain lion passed the road in front... Crazy! First time for all of us!

We are staying in the valley near Curry Village... With everyone else. But it doesn't feel that packed... Yet. The air smells like pine and campfire. We are only here for today and tomorrow so we are going to pack in as much as possible! Much more to come!
