Turn turning turn turn

Disney has its line control, Yosemite has its two-lane road. I'm glad I wasted hours in my youth playing video games where I learned to hug and decelerate just before then accelerate coming out of the corners. Good griefinheimer!

We drove to Yosemite village where walked through the visitor center and then grabbed a bite to eat before taking the tram to our hike.  The weather couldn't be much better.

Stop 16, just past Curry Village left us at the base of Mist trail which is quite an assent to Vernal Falls.  To experience the physical affects without the time and expense of getting here, find a building where you can climb stairs for 45-60 minutes.  Wear enough clothes so you heat up and close one eye  while looking straight up so you can feel a little out of balance.  Of course you won't fully experience the magnificent views, sheer cliffs or thunderous falls, but that's why I'm blogging this. Take your iPad with you while you climb the steps so you can review these photos/videos and feel like you are here.
