Day 11 - Sacramento to Yosemite

David - Yosemite, Yosemite, Yosemite; the drive up some pretty spectacular mountain roads; the first glimpse of the valley as we drove in. Awesome.

Megan - Half Dome and El Capitan (rock mountain cliff things) in the setting sun; hearing Bridget and Declan suggest that Patrick should sleep closest to the door so that he could get eaten if we were attacked by a bear during the night. Awesome.

Bridget - wildlife in Yosemite - squirrels, raccoons and deer, oh my! Awesome.

Declan - listening to a ranger talk about rock falls in Yosemite, particularly when a 'rock' the size of a football field fell 1500 feet and caused massive damage by making winds of 200 miles an hour when it hit the ground. Awesome.

Patrick - having squirrels run through my legs while we were having lunch - my favourite was Usain Bolt squirrel - he was fast! Awesome.
