After leaving Stanford early Sunday afternoon we began the trip over to Yosemite. The big news from the drive over was the drought.

We spent the night at the Tanaya Lodge which is a new resort and spa built right outside the park. it was a very nice place. That night we went on a flashlight hike back into the woods to look at the stars. It turned out to be a good star viewing area.

Despite our best efforts we got to bed late again. After 4 very long days we were exhausted.
