Didn't take many photos today, more riding than sightseeing. However, that doesn't mean we didn't see anything great. Left the tall trees that morning and headed into some fun back roads w/ miles of turns. Saw some spectacular lakes too (Pine Flat Lake & Bass Lake). Again, had to drop down to the valley and ride along the lower hills, another scorcher of a day. Passed through a little town called North Fork, it's known for being the exact center of California.
Ate a late lunch / early dinner at a small Mexican restaurant Tom knew about in Oakhurst (just outside Yosemite), good food. Stayed there for a little while resting and checking emails and making a few phone calls. Up to that point, it had been a long day of just riding.
Made it into Yosemite late in the day w/ less than a few hours of sunlight left. AMAZING PLACE! Snagged the last spot in a high elevation campsite. Very dusty place b/c of the lack of rain all over SoCal (getting black boogers here). Didn't have to set up the tents in the dark (like the last 2 days), so that was nice. Forged for firewood b/c we didn't want to pay for any (Tom's teachings).
We decided on waking up early to get a head start on the day, so lights out early.
