Pohono Trail Shots

Up and down the south side of the valley is what Bryan S. and I did yesterday to begin my training for the half-ironman next July. Up the 4-Mile trail and down the Pohono Trail towards the Tunnel View where a detour down the old stagecoach road took us to the Bridalveil Falls parking lot. We then hopped on our bicycles for the ride several miles back to the car. A loop as they say, and the map shows. Above are a few snapshots from yesterday. As you can see the weather is a mighty fine sunny and holding at a pleasant California temperature. The top postcard is Bryan on the rim while I stood over at Taft Point. The second postcard was taken from the other direction while a professional slacklining photo shoot was occurring and I was told to "SHHHH" as I walked by by spectators from the midwest or central valley (we couldn't ell the difference- bad joke.) The last view is back towards the valley and you can see Sentinal Rock off in the distance where we began the trail hours before. Enjoy some new photographs finally, because I enjoyed taking them.

It's Your B-Day, In Da Club...

Since its my day, I've taken the opportunity to post a non-Yosemite photo, but something I photographed recently. This is from Big Sur last week and the image goes good with what I'm listening to right now: the Grateful Dead concert from 10-19-990. Enjoy.

From the Archive's #2

Rojo and I sat in this spot with this view and had lunch on our Grand Canyon of the Tuolomnee dayhike. We also saw it in black and white. Enjoy an oldie/outtake from September.

From the Archives

An outtake from June 29th, looking down on the upper part of the Yosemite Falls trail. Its been over a month with nothing new, so I thought I might post a few from the archive for a short span. There has to be a few left over from this year. Enjoy.
