Yosemite part 2

If you look really close you can see people hiking on top of Half Dome. They are the little black dots on the top of the photo.



Bridalveil Fall, this was one of the few falls that was flowing while we were there.

NSXPO 2018 - home to Yosemite

I am way, way behind on this blog. We just got home yesterday from NSXPO 2019 and I'm posting on 2018.

Before we leave, this is as clean as the car will be until we get home.

The Bonneville Salt Flats just west of Salt Lake City. I had to shoot the car from the side because there are about 10,000 bugs smashed on the front.


Once we hit Utah you turn south at West Wendover.

South from West Wendover is a whole lot of nothing for a long long way. We made sure to fill the car before heading down this road.


This is a solar plant just outside of Tonopah Nevada. It is not made up of a bunch of solar cells. It's a collection of mirrors that focus sunlight on this tower where it's melts salt at 1600 degrees.
Mono Lake, just east of the east entrance to Yosemite.
Mono Lake is a strange place where Tufa towers made out of limestone grow out of the water.


Once you stop at Lee Vining and fill up you head into Yosemite from the east and it's an awesome drive.
