Last night my phone died, but at least Marilyn’s works so we have internet. Customer Service (I called on Marilyn’s phone) said I needed a new SIM Card. Tomorrow, we were planning to go to Fresno to Sam’s, so a stop at a Verizon store will not be a problem. I guess I can do without a Smart Phone for 2 nights.
Today, we drove back up to Yosemite National Park. We started at about 1700 feet in our RV park, and topped out at 7900 feet at Glacier Point in the park.
After entering Yosemite NP, we turned right to go to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia Trees. We enjoyed seeing these giant trees again. Most of them require 2 pictures to get the top and the bottom. (Note that without my phone I can not get panorama pictures of a tall tree in one picture. 
But, in this park the trails and parking lot are open enough to get full tree pictures. 
We walked out the trail towards the Grizzly Giant, one of the oldest trees in the world. Along the way, we saw the Bachelor and the Three Graces. 
Fire affects all trees, whether they are alive or dead. 
Here is the oldest tree in the grove, the Grizzly Giant. 
This is Marilyn underneath the tree named California Tree. 
We left the big trees, and headed toward Glacier Point, which was at about 7900 feet. Here we are with Half-Dome behind us. 
Note that it is Red Shirt Friday.
We had a great view of Nevada Falls. 
From Glacier Point, we could also see Yosemite Village, as well as Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. 
The rock walls were very interesting. 
Our wildlife for the day was limited to a Ground Squirrel. 
But, in addition, to all the great views we got to see some of that left over white lumpy rain since we were at almost 8000 feet. 
Type at you later.
