I (David) am still a bit scarred from the crapy-ness of the other day, but we have had some good days. The travel from Lodi, CA (just outside of Sacramento) was especially hot. Jen drove the Honda separate since it was a pretty short drive and I didn't want to bother hooking up the car. Plus, with the steep inclines and high temperatures, Reno could use a little break. Besides, Jennifer was happy having a working a/c while we were driving through some 100+ degree temperatures. Noah and I, however, enjoyed sweating it out.
Don't forget about me! -Reno
We went the wrong way for a good bit, and that only added to the frustration from sitting in a mobile sauna. Somehow, the rear door that holds the electric hookups had flung open and we drug the wire for a bit. Thankfully Jen was driving behind us and we were able to spot it and get it fixed. That process pulled us through a tight pull off where I unfortunately jack-knifed the trailer. All of this occurred shortly after Jennifer mentioned one of my break lights wasn't working, making me a bit worried about getting pulled over. The trailer lights still work, and I don't know if that's a sufficient technicality to keep me out of the police's way... I hope.

Nonetheless we made it to our RV park (quite a bit further outside of Yosemite than we had thought) and made haste to get the a/c running. The travel basically sums up the most interesting parts. Don't get me wrong though; Yosemite is beautiful. It is super crowded during the weekend and only nominally so during the week, but still gorgeous. The views of the shear granite cliffs, glacial cut U valleys and waterfalls are picturesque in every sense. We have enjoyed swimming in a few pools, scrambling on rocks, and making a few hikes, but we are nonetheless getting antsy about getting back to real life. We will probably end up heading out a day early (Thursday) to start getting things settled (mail, gym memberships, new plates and registrations, etc.). I hope we can get into an RV park!
