Today's journey brought us back to Yosemite to explore the Valley by bicycle.
Our first stop was Mirror "Lake." It was more of a meadow than a lake since there was zero water around. But we walked into the middle of it and had some incredible 360 deg views of the valley.
Then we circled the Valley and found the Sierra Club's first visitor center for the park. After a brown bag lunch, we explored the Yosemite Cemetery near the Visitor Center. The center was closed (due to COVID), but they had a large section of a Sequoia on display that showed it was almost 1000 years old.
When we got back to our RV, we took the Motley Crue on a long walk to the National Forest nearby. They got to see more wild turkeys and a buck bounding into the forest from us about 50 yards away.
More like Mirror Meadow!
View from Mirror Lake. Half Dome is above the rock.
Agnes was very curious until she realized we were not packing (food that is).
There is an interesting story behind this first visitor center to the park. To Good Buddy it looked like a church.
The cemetery was interesting to walk around.
This tree was 1,100 years old when it fell. WHOA! That is old.
Entering the National Forest on our dog walk... Nice to have a quiet walk in the woods. Good Buddy ended up picking up lots of litter off the road since our dog bags are oversized.
More Gobble-Gobbles on our walk. They were so sensitive. You just look at them and they'd run away.
