Yosemite and the Sierra's

                    We went up to Badger Pass (first time there for both of us) which is half way up the same road as Glacier Point. It's not like they had a ton of snow but enough to ski on anyway.


Donna's still looks hot, I am so glad she continues likes me...:-)


I can't explain it...Benji was on the leash when we went up the hill?
(we are at 6000 feet elevation here so you can see the lack of snow on the ground)


Although the Wawona hotel was closed for the season, we have had so many great memories staying here.



The Wawona was built in 1876 and the main building was occupied in 1879. This is why we love it so much, it has few room amenities (most share a bath or bath house), no TV, no phone, a slight tilt of the floors that tell of stories from the more than 130 years they have been open. The dining room is surrounded with original beveled glass windows that dates back decades.


Besides the wonderful aged hotel, the Wawona has the oldest golf course in the Sierra's attached to the south wing. The course was established in 1918 and we have golfed it whenever possible.


Other than obstacles like sand traps and trees, these four legged guys are all over the golf course in the early morning or late afternoon.

you gonna see the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias?
Also, is Donna standing in the empty Bass Lake?, you should look for fishing lures, bet the bottom of the lake bed is filled with them.
