Spring Break--Final Day 6

To those of you who have read our posts and even commented, a hearty "Thank you."

To my parents whom James sat patiently with this last weekend to teach
Blogging Presets 101.. (just 3 clicks folks...no typing involved..)

..I love you even though you haven't turned on your computer since we were in your home (700 miles away) and you aren't reading this.

To catch the rest of us up...Yosemite was fascinating--even if seen primarily from the confines of our Denali. We apparently saved up enough energy to attack the wilds of Sequoia National Park. We were willing to walk throughout the highlands and lowlands that next day. But, alas, we could not do it without heavy snow gear on our bodies. At best, we had heavy jackets.

Thank you Mr. Park Ranger for clearing the snow for us.
The 300 feet to the museum would have been unbearable.

We remained the responsible family and only cautiously ventured forth on trails freshly 'mowed' with a Snow-Blower. That pretty much left us to the walk from the parking lot to the doors of another Visitor's Center.

Well...now WE are hidden in the snow clouds. You can't see the bottom of the mountain .

Only 4-wheeled vehicles were allowed up the mountain that day. Some sportier little cars would be seen with chains on their wheels. I bet that was the only time some of those sun-tanned tourists would ever have to touch a chain around their tires.

James is sporting his souvenir from Yosemite. Its a water bottle holder.
Little kids won't be stealing that, I think.

Hoods are a fashion statement. I had to document that.

The Four Guardsmen. And a cheering squad.

Action-packed view of a Giant Sequoia at the Giant Forest Museum.

That's all we have. I could make an appointment for you to see the other 6 gigabytes of photos and video if you want........
