Yosemite

We took a one day trip to Yosemite National Park. The weather this summer (and for several years previous) has been very dry and as a result, many of the waterfalls in Yosemite were dried up and non-functional. I think that this affected our appreciation of the park. There were many tourists, the park bathrooms were filthy, and there were only several sights where we could drive.

There are many hiking trails but we are unable to experience them unless they are easy. Stephen has two knee transplants and is unable to handle a strenuous hike. On top of that, we are both not very fit. I'm sure that a few good hikes would get us in better shape, but we are not willing to take the stress on our bodies to get there!
