We camped at Wawona and had a terrific site. throughout the trip, we visited many of the famous areas: Tuolumne Meadows, Mariposa Grove, Glacier Point, and of course Yosemite Valley itself.
On our final day though, we visited an area of the park I had not been to either, Hetch Hetchy. John Muir thought of this valley as a near twin to Yosemite and fought his most passionate battle to preserve it's majesty. In the end though, he lost and the O'Shaughnessy Dam was eventually built to create a reservoir out of the valley. Such a shame and something that I doubt would happen in today's world, a world he inspired to preserve such things.
After a couple of days of camping we broke camp and headed home. I think Cass enjoyed the trip though, and as close as Yosemite is, we will of course return.
