Trip to Yosemite and San Francisco, August 2005

Dave demonstrating his environmental feelings in the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias.

Dave at the Clothespin Tree, completely natural and far more striking than the California Tunnel Tree.

The tour company, Backroads, was upscale without being stuffy. This is a portion of the spread of cold cuts to be made into lunch for the hike to Sentinel Peak.

Sequoias have a unique majesty.

Mirror Lake. In past years the stream below this point was dammed to 'improve' the picturesque view. In its present natural state, it's a place of remarkable beauty and tranquility.

Dave and Jo at the base of the Wawona Tunnel Tree, which fell in 1969.
