From Poo to Pines

I'm happy to report that we have left stinking Lake Tahoe and have arrived in sunny Yosemite Pines. Not without problems though....

We knew the HWY out of Tahoe was windy and steep so we unhooked the Jeep and drove the 2 vehicles separately until we cleared the mountains... which was all good until we hit stupid US 49 ... This road was windy, steep, narrow and just plain annoying and we had to stay on it the whole way to Yosemite. The turd's breaks were playing up, screeching like crazy, so there was no way we were going to risk towing the Jeep only to have it provide extra momentum in the event our breaks failed.

Speaking of accidents, we saw a nasty head on collision between an SUV and motorbike. The bike was crumpled beneath the front bumper of the SUV and the biker was on the road unconscious receiving much needed medical attention. It didn't look fatal though.

Anyways, the weather here is beautiful, the place we're staying is relaxing and quite fancy (they have a nice looking pool and volley ball courts) we had a lovely dinner of ribeye and blue cheese polenta, add in a few beers and wine, an early bedtime and that's all from us.

Until tomorrow,

Kat
