Day 13 Three Rivers to Mariposa
After a great stay seeing Sequoia we set off for Yosemite.
Interesting drive through a farming area where we just turned left, drive 10 miles,
Turn right drive 10 miles and repeated about 3 times.
We saw a total of 5 cars and 1 guy in a field.
Called at another Walmart in Fresno and the girl was amazed we had travelled from the UK as she didn't think you could drive it.
Hotel in Mariposa was better on the inside than it looked.
Nice meal in a good western style bar with live music.
Day 14 Yosemite
One hour spectacular drive into Yosemite Valley and the first sight to greet you is El Capitan.
The whole valley is surrounded with jaw dropping scenery.
Spent the day there and couldn't decide whether to take the one hour detour to Glacier Point. Decided to do it in the end and WOW !!
On the way back saw and videod a coyote.
Mixed feelings as it was interesting to see but the coyote seems to have become reliant on tourists.
Long, long day but ace.
Day 14 Mariposa
It's the unexpected things that have made this such a good trip.
No exception here. Really interesting Gold country museum with really nice people and an interesting town which was at the centre of the gold rush.
Beers in the afternoon and ready to move on.
