Had a fabulous stay at Yosemite, nice RV park and so close to Yosemite National Park..  We visited the National Park several times.  Can't even explain how beautiful the falls were, the snow melt has created the most amazing falls we have seen in the park.  You hear the falls before you see the water, some places you will get wet also.  Len's brother came to visit, so lucky to have a parking spot right next to us for his 5th wheel, good to see Craig again.  Whenever we visited Yosemite we packed a lunch to enjoy while inside the park, some nice picnic areas also.  Len did some hiking in the park and we both enjoyed seeing the Redwoods once again.  Those trees are gigantic.

We took a drive to Hetch Hetchy, an area where Len spent time with his boy scout troop. Hidden in Yosemite National Park’s peaceful northwest corner, Hetch Hetchy Valley is a treasure worth visiting in all seasons. Located at 3,900 feet, Hetch Hetchy boasts one of the longest hiking seasons in the park and is an ideal place for thundering spring waterfalls and wildflower displays. High temperatures prevail in summer months, but that is a small price to pay for the reward of vast wilderness filled with stunning peaks, hidden canyons, and remote lakes.

So happy to add new RV friends to our traveling family.  We met several new friends, Greg and Michelle stopped to introduce themselves to us, ended up meeting them at the clubhouse to play some games, also met up again with Bob and JoAnn that Len met at Turtle Beach (our last stop), and also met Andy and her hubby John.  We had campfires together and shared meals, such a fun time, hope to catch up with them again in our travels.  One night we ate dinner in Groveland at the Iron Door Saloon, oldest saloon in California with Greg and Michelle.  Another night while Bob's sister was visiting, we ate brats at Bob and JoAnn's place, rainy night but still a fun evening.  Andy and John had us all over for a taco bar and bonfire one night, Andy said she only invited us in hopes I would bring my homemade salsa, which I did.  Good food and great new friends.  What a great life we are enjoying, especially meeting such wonderful people. Even took in a local flea market in Groveland.

The park had a couple of meals, one was a taco night for Cinco De Mayo, then a pancake breakfast for Mother's Day.  Both were good and when you don't have to cook it is even better.

Until the next time...……...
