Dreams Do Come True!

Yosemite has been a dream of ours 

for many years and now it has come true!  

We picked up some maps at the visitor center and

 walked to the Pioneer Yosemite History Center.

It was cold and drizzling as we crossed 

 the covered bridge, which was built in 1857, 

into a little village. 

 The South Fork of the Merced river through a knothole.

 Common home.

Yosemite’s only two-story log home built in 1879.

Stage Office. 

Blacksmith shop to repair your wagon before 

the 8-hour trip to Yosemite Valley.

A variety of wagons including this mosquito wagon.

An eleven passenger stagecoach.

Inside Yosemite you can stay at Big Tree Lodge.
 It is a mid-1800's hotel with Victorian decor.

Thank you John Muir, President Roosevelt, President Lincoln,
Galen Clark and so many others who had the passion,
vision and worked to preserve the National Parks.
Without those who fought to protect this land we wouldn't
be able to enjoy this beautiful park.

This is the most famous, amazing view
that takes your breath away.
El Capitan on the left, Half Dome in the background,
Sentinel Rock, Bridalveil Fall, and Cathedral Rocks.

We are blessed beyond imagination.

What a beautiful place!

"It is by far the grandest of all the special temples 
of Nature I was ever permitted to enter."
John Muir

Keep dreaming!
