This part of the trip is definitely turning into a repetition of 2009... Wednesday I drove through Yosemite and down to Fresno, an exact opposite of my 2009 route. Well, I didn't go to Mariposa Grove to photograph the mighty trees...
Anyway, Yosemite is as pretty as ever. Sadly, people in California seem to have less time and/or worse manners than just about anybody else. As I was driving through Touloumne Meadows, a deer jumped out in front of my car. I stopped and looked at it, taking a few pics. Some asshole in a jeep sped past me, way over the limit while honking the whole time, sending the deer fleeing into the woods. Yosemite sure feels different from Yellowstone in this respect.
All pics here.
From Tunnel View. El Capitan to the left, Half Dome centre, Bridalveil Falls to the right - almost dried up in mid August.
