Yesterday, I wrote 2,944 words<\/a> about our trip so far. Today, as the old adage goes, I will add 22,000 or so. But you know what I think of that adage. I guess this is for those who disagree with me…<\/p>\n

Our goodbye party (Ohlone Park, Berkeley) setup on Sunday the 5th of July:
\n<\/p>\n

All packed up and ready to ship:
\n<\/p>\n

After our last dinner (at Bangkok Thai in Berkeley) with Gris & Anna:
\n<\/p>\n

The old place, finally empty and clean:
\n<\/p>\n

The Prius, full and ready to go:
\n<\/p>\n

One last visit to the Grand Lake on our way out of town. Normally we wouldn’t have seen “Ice Age 3D”, but the Grand Lake made it worth it:

Fast-forward to Saturday the 11th of July, which we spent mostly in Kings Canyon NP. Here, Emily had just bonked her head on the interior of a fallen sequoia:

Sunday midday, heading out to embark on our hike to Ostrander Lake:

\n<\/p>\n

Our campsite:
\n<\/p>\n

A marmot said hello when we awoke in the morning:
\n<\/p>\n

My John Muir impression on the walk back:
\n<\/p>\n

And Emily’s:
\n<\/p>\n

We made it!
\n<\/p>\n

Buffalo guarded the car while we were up the trail, as per usual on cross-country roadtrips:
\n<\/p>\n

The Wawona Hotel. Best parking spot ever in the foreground, our room in the top left corner, and the restaurant just below:
\n<\/p>\n

A mule deer ran through the Wawona grounds at dusk:

On the road again:
