Went up to Yosemite Thursday. Water is unbelievable. Rode the bikes all over the valley first trip taking the bikes with the Hawk. Next modification will be mounts to hang the bikes off the back of the camper. Weather could not have been better, warmer than forecast and the ranger said the water was rising. Ran in to Kodachrome and his wife at the campground saw one over 4WC in the valley but no one around. Missed Lighthawk he was due in after we left Lower Pines Camp. Only bad part of trip was a large diesel pusher who started his generator at 8:30 PM at 9:30 I banged on his door and shined a bright flashlight in his windows. After about 3 minutes the generator shut down, I think I may have woke him up.

Bill, you just can go wrong with Yosemite can you? Sounds like a great time (except for the generator) and nice photos! Thanks for sharing.

Right on!

And thanks for the report.

We just got back, Bill. Agree with you on everything: amazing waterfalls, great biking, nice camp @ Lower Pines, and d#%g generators.
Will post a trip report and pics soon. Sorry we missed the chance to meet you.
