Nature! Very seldomly I can be convinced to leave the creature comforts of my own bed and house. But Mr Todd, being Mr Todd, managed to do so, and right before a massive family reunion and before school! Good idea! So what better place to go than to Yosemite. Just don't put your tent to close to 'stupid men' otherwise you're liable to be kept awake! And watch out for bears and coyotes, ah so....

Ah hah ! Half Dome -- can you beleive they climbed that sucker?

 

Fig. 1. Another typical happy touristy picture, but I'm happy to be there. The drive to the Valley was one of the coolest I've done!

Fig. 2. Mr. Kyle taking a break on one of the 'rocks' (yeah a 1500 foot 'rock' we climbed in Tuolumne Meadows.

 

Fig. 3. The group! Kyle, Me, Peer, Todd and (gasp) Kevin!

Fig. 4. Of course what are you to do at the top of a mountain but eat tuna from a can! That's what Todd thinks, oh but the apple too!

 

Fig. 5. Yes, A hot and hazy day from the Valley at sunset...

Fig. 6. Me and Mr T

 

Fig. 7. Daredeviling on top of the thing on the right...

Fig. 8...The thing we climbed!

 

Fig. 9. Trees, light, worthy of taking a pic on the way into the Valley.

Fig. 10. Three of us made it to the top~) This is the second mountain Todd has manged to convince me to go up (see supra), it's actually quite fun! Will there be more mountains?
