YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK 7-18-11

Traveled 200 miles today.  Remember the S-curves of several days ago?  Well, this was S-curves with the trailer.  Yosemite Pines Campground is pretty, but it is an hour away from the Park.  We took a reconnaissance mission into the park to plan our strategy for the coming days.  Wow, it is like Disney in Yosemite Valley without the organization.  We saw a person stop their car in the middle of a four way intersection and jump out to take a picture.  We saw the introductory film, consulted with a ranger and then walked to the Ahwahnee, the historic hotel in Yosemite Valley and made reservations for tomorrow night.  The desk person said no reservations available, but we were determined and did get a room for tomorrow night.  We will not be returning to the Village area and will not be bringing our bikes as there are just too many people and it is crowded and dangerous.  It's 5:15 PM and we are leaving the park in a huge traffic tie-up.  Home at 6:30 PM so after the initial traffic it wasn't so bad.
