Memorable Day – Finally got back to Yosemite – from the deer near Avalanche Lodge – the first view of Half Dome * the valley – the lack of traffic in the valley (to Bob’s chagrin) the flowers & domes at Olmstead Point – Tanaya Lake & Tioga Pass. Spent all day going the 60 miles. Mono Lake still going down – back in Reno about 7:00.
