While I knew I should have went to sleep early on Thursday, I didn’t.  Instead, I kept working.  Then I started to pack.  Then it was so late that I never did get to sleep.  Instead, at about 3:40 a.m., Rich and I headed for the airport.  Our flight left at 7 a.m. to San Francisco.  We then picked up a rental SUV and began our trek to Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp, California, a small town 2 miles south of Yosemite National Park.

The view while driving out of San Francisco on the Bay Bridge.  For years I’ve taken pictures of the bridge from the San Francisco side; this is my first time driving on it (DH was driving).

During the drive.   Eventually we arrived at the Tenaya Lodge.  Beautiful place.  Love it.  We have a lovely “junior suite.”  I highly recommend this place. Yes, you will need to do a lot of driving in the park.  While the lodge is only two miles from the south entrance, it’s another 36 to Yosemite Valley.  That doesn’t sound like much, but figure very twisty roads and a 35 mph speed limit.  If you don’t mind the drive, this place is great.  I do wish they had free wi-fi though.

As soon as we drove past what sounded like running water, we pulled over.  The first of many waterfalls!  We stayed here for a while, just listening to the rushing water.  Very peaceful.

I’m getting ahead of myself posting this picture.  I’ve more photos and stories coming, including  from Glacier Point and the Ansel Adams Gallery.  Stay tuned!
