Boy have we been busy since we arrived at Bass Lake. This is a beautiful area with all of the ponderosa pines. Saturday, Mom and Dad went to the Yosemite Mountain-Sugar Pine Narrow Gauge Railroad where they were treated to a steak dinner, a ride on a logging train and then entertained at a hootenanny by a campfire. They really enjoyed the evening. Sunday, we took a 71/2 hour ride on the trike on the Sierra National Scenic Byway through the
Sierra National Forest. We made a lot of stops to view the spectacular scenery. Mom even made a picnic lunch for us. Yesterday we left the RV park at 7:00 am to tour Yosemite National Park. Our first stop was to see the giant sequoias. Man are those big trees. As you can see in the picture, I am tiny compared to the trunk of one of those trees. It would take me a month to leave my scent around the trunk of one tree. Mom bought me a stuffed park ranger toy to go with my collection of stuffed toys from our travels. After touring Yosemite and all its splendor, we rode through Tioga Pass to visit Bodie, a California Gold Rush ghost town. When the mines were depleted, the citizens walked away from the town, leaving everything behind. California created a historic park to preserve the town as it was when the citizens left. It is an authentic ghost town. We are now resting up for our the next leg of our California excursion Thursday when were are off to Isleton. While there we will be touring San Francisco, Alcatraz and riding the Golden Gate Bridge. Until then......
