I nailed a couple of 'em trying to photograph the fire fall. 

What fire fall? Maybe there were some bears up on the top peeing into the 
creek or whatever it is that serves Horse Tail Fall. There sure wasn't much 
water. If you're seeing fabulous images of Yosemite's Fire Fall from 2012 - 
be wary!

On the other hand the hiking has been terrific. There IS some snow on the 
valley floor but only in areas deeply shaded by the trees. Many of the 
meadows are marshy. The snow really begins about 6,000' or so. Mariposa 
Grove has a bit of snow on the ground - enough to makes the paths icy and 
(for people with my sense of balance) treacherous.

We haven't seen many critters although the rangers and the bus drivers tell 
us they have seen many. No bears. No bears EVER! I think bears don't really 
exist and are only there to scare kids.

Photos will come after I make it home. I miss the great company we might 
have had.

Best to all!

Jan & Adam Bridge
