Sonora Pass w Tom, Toiyabe National Forest
Trip Date: May 29, 2015
Ah, the simple times. Two people; one rig, one night; two days. It really is so simple, especially with a few years and several hundred trips under our belts. We know what we need; we know what we want; we know how to do it. Now actually remembering everything is another story altogether. Tom…
Yosemite National Park
Trip Date: April 23, 2015
We have gone to Yosemite every Fall for the past several years with our friends Moe and Dave and others who have joined us from year to year. During our trip last October, we decided to move the trip to the Spring so Moe and Dave could see the waterfalls in full rage mode. However,…
