We're chilling with our friend Lauren, her two dogs, and one other couple for Thanksgiving out near the southern entrance to Yosemite. It's my and Corrie's first trip since I proposed back in 2006. Yikes. Anyway, she was spreading her dad's ashes at the park---permits all up to date---and we're all here for her. And us, since this place is fantastic.
Yesterday we went into the park, and it's spectacular as always.
The iconic shot above is the view from Tunnel View, a small parking lot at the end of the 4,233 foot long Wawona Tunnel.
Visible below is the upper portion of Yosemite Falls:
We stopped at the Ahwahnee for a cocktail and a snack, before turning around and heading back to the cabin. Many of the interior shots for The Shining were filmed at the Ahwahnee lodge, and it had a familiar feeling, albeit in an eerie way.
Here's to hoping you and yours get to celebrate Thanksgiving. Show gratitude! Be thankful! Enjoy loved ones. Be safe.
