Yosemite

Day 1: Yosemite was a good 9 hour or so drive away, today was going to be a long day. We where up early and left the casino early. When we got out of Vegas and into the desert th sky was really dark and it looked like it was going to hammer down! It did about there hours into the drive and not only did it rain it hail stoned, some desert! The roads we where driving along was really cool, it was like some stage of a rally course, shame the cars where automatic. It took so long to get there we ended up camping in a little village t the bottom of Yosemite called Browns Town. That was the coldest i have ever been, i couldn't believe it!

Day 2: When we woke up we headed off to buy more booze and a another sleeping bag. It toke about three hours to get up to the national park itself. Some of the view where spectacular. Below is a picture of Tom and i by a lake in the national park Notice the snow capped mountains.
We continued to drive another hour or so towards the campsite, this time when we stopped we was the below... Was a tent going to be enough protection from all the beasts out in the wild..... I think not.
We pitched the tent up and cooked tea on a camp fire and went to bed.

Day 3: No incidents with wild animals last night thankfully although we had to lock all our food, booze and toliteres in these massive bear proof containers! We went for a walk around the site and made a few more friends. We saw some wild life, nothing spectacular, a deer and the cheekiest squirrel ever. Woody taught Tom and I how to cook foil packs on the fire which was really nice not to have fast food for once. Chilled out that evening and had a reasonable night sleep.
