ASIDE: profuse apologies, we were unable to get a high speed hookup, which is ironic since we were in the Silicon Valley area of California. In any case, tonight we posted five tonight.
Ok, so we left our campsite and headed up hwy 120 across Yosemite. It was an amazing hwy with gentle sweeping curves, no nasty switchbacks, beautiful vistas, and nice cool 75 degree temp as most of the road is between 7,000 and 9,000 feet. In the photos there is a picture of Dave at Olmstead Point with the Half Dome in the background, and one of Bev pointing out the route of the road. If you look at the picture with neither of us, you will see the road we will enter as it crisscrosses the mountain pass. We took this pic from one of the pulloffs.
The last picture is the continuation of 120 to hwy 6 in the Inwo Nat'l Forest in the Nevada high Sierra plains.....it is wide, with mountains on all sides, with sagebrush in bloom and the paved road is straight and you can see where you are headed for miles.....with NO OTHER vehicle to be seen. Bev made a pit stop at the side of the road with no worries!! We felt like we were in a western movie....the scenes were perfect.
We finished the day crossing the Nevada Desert to Tonopah on route 6 and 95. We have treated ourselves to a Best Western with a high speed internet just for you complainers who have wondered why the blog was not in action lately.
