Another Epic Road Trip - Tall Van Trouble/Sequoia/First View of Yosemite

Being in California necessitates a trip to In-N-Out, but we accidentally got in line there before realizing that our van was too tall.  Well, it was at least too all according their posted clearance.  After waiting in a huge double line of cars and worrying that we would have to make every one of them back up, we cleared!  Whew!





We learned our lesson and did not attempt the drive-thru tree in Sequoia





Our favorite thing at Sequoia was not the big trees but the views from Moro Rock


We drove through a corner of King's Canyon National Park on the way to Yosemite from Sequoia.  But most of the "good stuff" was not accessible yet as there was still to much snow.  That was just as well as we had reservations in Yosemite and knew there would be plenty there to see.  Here is the famous "tunnel view" at Yosemite.  It' quite a grand welcome!


Bridal Veil Falls.  The trail was closed, but we went anyway!


El Capitan


Yosemite Falls


Our campsite.  We could not believe the view!  We were right on the Merced River with a perfect view of Half Dome.  This was totally worth synchronizing my clock and being right on the dot on that day in December when reservations opened up!
