Livin' Part of Life

Yada, yada, yada… another great day! We love this place, so much so that we are thinking about coming back on a future visit out this way. We are just a little too early in the season, but would love to kayak next time. The day started slowly and comfortably, especially since Rick continues to… Read more

We spent another glorious day at Silver Lake today. Like most of the past couple of weeks, the weather cooperated perfectly. Mostly clear blue skies and (for this time of year and altitude) warm temps. In the upper 40’s, but with the bright sun it felt great! The campsite where we are staying, Silver Lake… Read more

That’s what Waze has been telling us the past few days. We were going from Yosemite to the June Lake loop area, specifically the Sliver Lake RV resort. We love Waze and use it all of the time (thank you Wes), so we were so surprised that no matter where we were in the Yosemite… Read more

We are mixed with emotion tonight. Most of this entire journey has been planned around, and culminated with, our visit to Yosemite. We spent out fourth and final day in the park today, and it was another spectacular one. But as we sit here tonight, we both feel somewhat hesitant to leave behind this new… Read more

What an amazing day in Yosemite. For a woman who craves water features, this was heaven. Being in Yosemite in the springtime is so perfect as the water is in motion (literally ROARing) and the crowds are lesser. My kind of adventure. Livvy and the animals, while we were at Bridalveil falls Next stop included… Read more

We took the day off yesterday from writing. Not because we needed the break, but because our home last night was deep in the back end of the Yosemite Valley, and we had no connection. No data connection, that is. We definitely had a connection to the majesty around us. Day 1 – May 5… Read more

Here we are, the prime destination of our trip. On the edge of Yosemite National Park. And… we will be waiting to see it. It has been pouring rain for several hours, with several more to go in the forecast. We have been grateful for outstanding weather to date. And this area needs water. It’s… Read more

That really defined today for us. We did a bunch of nothing. I guess we did a lotta relaxing, so it wasn’t really nothing. But it was great! We awoke to yet another beautiful, nearly cloudless day in the Sierra range. It was still chilly when we headed outside for coffee, but nothing we couldn’t… Read more

I’ve said before that I love the water. So renting a boat today was a special treat! It’s not really season here yet, so the marina is still in setup mode. In fact, they only had a few boats even in the water and we saw them bringing more out of storage. That, and the… Read more

For the first time since Orangeland, we had a full day with nothing planned. No long drive, no national park, no nothing. It’s a good feeling, and one we’re going to repeat for a few days. Some of us slept in late (That would be me. Karen was up much earlier.). It was great to… Read more
