Bits and Pieces

April 15^th Sunday

I can’t believe we have been camping for over a week! There has not been a moment yet that I regret going on this adventure but there are times that I get sad to not be living close to my SD family. Now back to the tripJ

We woke up nice and early to begin our trek back into Yosemite. There was one stop we had to make before we left Big Sur. The Big Sur bakery! I had heard so many great things about this place. I made ups get up extra early thinking that it might be busy on a Sunday. Well I was wrong we got there at 8:30 and it was too early, they had not even finished baking yetL What they did have was delicious and still hot out of the oven. With full bellies and caffeine in our veins, we were ready to go inland. Following Naggies back road recommendations we reached Yosemite in no time.

The drive in did not disappoint, you follow the Merced River in and are surrounded by giant rock formations. Once again we felt so little in comparison to what surrounded us.

We had not made reservations a head of time but had no problem getting a spot. We stayed in upper pines, they only had 3 campgrounds open and the time. Camping is Yosemite was a little like city living. Each site is super close to each other. We had trouble even figuring out which camp fire ring was ours. And believe it or not there was still snow on the ground! Glad we waited to come! After our evening walk we were in for the night, excited to explore Yosemite tomorrow!
