I made it back from California. Whee.

Yosemite far exceeded my expectations. The scenery was rugged and beyond my ability to describe. I spent three days on the John Muir Trail hiking from Toulumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. I then spent an extra day doing short day hikes on Mono Lake, the Dana River, Soda Springs, Toulumne Grove, Lembert Dome, etc.. The weather was incredible, with sunny dry days and gorgeous blue skies.

Following that I spent a pampered day and a half at the posh San Jose Westin with my dear wife and went to a very nice awards dinner put on by my employer at the Black Hawk Auto Museum. It was a very nice time.

I’ll post an extended trail log and pictures after I dig out from responsibilities here in Minnesota.
