2 Backpacks, 2 Bikes, a Van and a plan..: Final Yosemite Photos

Sitting here in the Galena Creek Visitor Center with no visitors, as it is pouring out. This is a rare occurrence here this time of year, although afternoon storms have been the pattern here for the past few days. Andre is back at the ranger house doing some van repairs (hopefully inside the van, right now!) so I figured this might be a good time to finally post those last Yosemite photos.

It has been really frustrating this summer living and also working in an area that has such poor communication options. We don't have cell coverage (or very little), cable TV or Internet at the Ranger house and the cell reception and Internet aren't all that great here at the visitor center either. It takes forever to upload photos, so I am going many days without posting, when I really do have lots to share with the world. Or at least my world! That's YOU if you're reading this....

Rather than a long narrative of the second part of our trip, I'll capture it in the photos and a few details with each. Enjoy!

The view of El Capitan from the shuttle stop on the road at the base.
There were only three climbers on the face that day because it was so hot.
We were able to view them through a park telescope
