Big air meets the dust devil.
Amy has the detailed report of our trip to Yosemite over here. No need to repeat her recap.
Highlights and lessons learned:
- To better enjoy Yosemite, ie. get away from the crowds of people, one must leave the valley…aka backpack.
- If you love coffee, bring your own. All available is rather awful.
- While the hike to Half Dome is possible in one day, I recommend backpacking up and staying in Little Yosemite Valley the night before. My legs are still sore 3 days later.
- The cables to the top of Half Dome are WAY steeper than I had anticipated. It didn’t help that I’m slightly afraid of heights, but a little mental focus and moving slow got me through. Also, better footwear may have helped.
- We met a guy, Mati, who shared the same birthday as Amy. We also learned that he went to Burning Man and to my surprise he spent some time and rather enjoyed my art project. Small world.
- With many vacations, I come back and wish I had a vacation from the vacation. Solution: Plan for an extra night in a cush hotel and just lay in bed for hours.
- Amy is the most wonderful companion ever :)
