Yosemite and the Drive to Nevada

We got to Winnemucca, NV tonight around 8:30 and since it was raining and dark we decided to stay in a hotel. So here is an update...

Inspired by our friend Kayla, we decided to make a list of "Grace in Small Things". Everyday we list five or more highlights (in no order):

Day 1: Yosemite
1. Standing in the mist at Yosemite Falls
2. Seeing a black bear and the beautiful surroundings at Glacier Point
3. The beetle making it to 100,000 miles successfully
4. A forest ranger pulling over a really slow car after we had been following it for miles
5. Getting to the store at Bass Lake minutes before it closed to buy firewood and milk (and meeting a girl who went to Cuesta)







Day Two: Yosemite
1. Feeling like we slept in without actually sleeping in (and waking up at a decent temperature)
2. Getting a shower on the Mist Trail on the way to Vernal and Nevada Falls
3. Eating delicious sandwiches while sitting at the bottom of a waterfall
4. Getting back to camp before dark and making hamburger helper
5. Meeting awesome people along the way on our 10 mile hike (and realizing that we need to climb Half Dome someday)
6. A quote from a girl climbing the stairs to the falls: "I hope we make it to the top, its a good workout for my butt!"
