To celebrate Independence Day, we decided to test the Melement with a drive out to Yosemite!

July 2-4, 2007
Yosemite National Park
14 hour drive roundtrip
doubled the miles on the car!
We wanted to stay here....
But we ended up here (Wawona Campground)...
Bears are a HUGE problem here. All food and anything remotely pungent had to be put in these lockers at your campsite. You could get in big BIG trouble if you didn't do that. In fact, if you left food in your car, bears may break in! We didn't want any bears scratching our new car!
In fact, during one of our nights in the park, Dave heard one snuffling near our tent! Eeek!
El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Falls
Heee...
Smokey the Bear was wrong, huh?
Leftovers of 1990 fire
Recovering from the fire
Yosemite Falls
Slurp!
Look at the tall trees!
Half dome
Little stream in the campground
ahhhh, nice and cool...
Ready for some SUPER big trees?!?
See Dave?
Small seed grows into SUPER huge tree!
See me?
