We are writing to you from the most beautiful place we've been on this trip: Yosemite National Park. It was very cold here last night, (low 30's), but thanks to my new zero degree sleeping bag (Thanks Linda and Jeff!) I was very cozy. Will was too, and being warm really made camping more fun. We arrived here yesterday, and set up our campsite. There have been over 400 bear sightings here in the past year, and they are very strict about keeping food in the large metal bear boxes they provide. You can't even keep food in the car, because the bears will damage your car. They told us not to leave food more than an arm's length away from us. We haven't seen a bear yet, but we are on the lookout.
We made hot dogs and chilli over the fire last night, and this morning we woke up and hiked to a really beautiful waterfall. Then Will convinced me to climb up the mountain (not on a path), even past the sign that indicated you needed mountain climbing gear. We did get a really amazing view of the mountains though.
Well, we should get going on another hike. We will post again soon!
