Yosemite

AFTER THE BURN


Plans got a little wrecked after Burning Man.  So I rented a car in Reno, Nevada and headed to the Bay Area of California in hopes of finding a place to crash.  The first night I ended up in a beautiful Vineyard Home in Sonoma Valley with my old roomate from College, Adrienne Hall.  Life is too sweet. (no pictures unfortunately)

After a couple days in Sonoma and San Francisco with Adrienne, I met up with Jeffrey Powers in Oakland.  After the first night there, we decided to pack our car and hit the peaks of Yosemite National Park for 6 days of camping--and straight chilllllllin.

We cooked every meal like it was our last.  Hiking was a blast, and a good workout too. Thankfully we found some hot springs at the end of our trip.
