California 2007 (4)

Thursday we breakfasted at 7.30 at The Miners Inn,
Mariposa, then off to Yosemite again. This time was
much better and cooler. I stopped for lots of photos.
Our destination was Glacier Point which joins Elgol on
Skye and Crater Lake as my top views. Then we motored
out of the park and across the Sierras to Nevada which
looks very barren. Lakes all showed the drought here
is severe. In the park waterfalls were a trickle.
Twice I had to slow down for police cars. No we saw
three and I was told one place was hot on fining
speedsters. All through the 282 mile journey until
arriving here at 9.15, we enjoyed chatting with Julie.
When we got in she was off to nurse through the night
at the hospital. Two of her three daughters are nurses too.
We had dined at a chinese in Carson City, named after
Kit Carson, the man who led wagon trains over the
Sierras.
