Darn that global warming!
I’ve traveled much of the world.
Yosemite should be on everyone’s Bucket List.
Just not when I’m there. :-)
Very nice. However, keep in mind that all that water at the falls and elsewhere as the snow pack melts will mean lots of mosquitoes come the summer.
Quite a few years ago after a rainy/snowy winter, we toured Yosemite, stopping at Tanaya Lake as we drove out the eastern gate to US 395. From the parking lot to the lake we had to walk through a narrow strip of trees. About half way through, I came to the realization that I was brushing off something. That something turned out to be a huge number of mosquitoes. Both my wife and I took off running back to our car. Well, that was before remote control fobs, so I had to unlock the door with a key. We jumped in along with several mosquitoes which we had to kill as we sat in the car. So much for enjoying a walk in the woods of Yosemite.
Another experience was houseboating on the Sacramento River in the delta area. We had motored up one of the tributaries and anchored in an area surrounded by trees. As evening approached, I was out on deck grilling a couple of steaks. From out of nowhere came a hoard of mosquitoes as I quickly finished and ducked inside. They were relentless and many of them kept flying into the window glass trying to gain entry. That went on all night. Needless to say, it was our one and only houseboating adventure on the Sacramento Delta.
Wife and I hiked to the top of the falls in 93 in the PM after hiking to Glacier point in the AM
I live 40 miles from Yosemite. This has nothing to do with rain and everything to do with snowpack.
