Yosemite, May 2010

On May 15, 2010 we took a day trip to Yosemite. From where we live, we normally come in highway 120 (the "Big Oak Flat" entrance), but our goal this day was to come up highway 140 along the Merced River to enjoy the spring water flow down the river. We weren't disappointed with our views. Once reaching the valley, we stopped by a couple of the traditional viewpoints, including a sack dinner at Tunnel View.
