Yosemite - April 2017



This was the longest I have ever spent in Yosemite, 5 days and 4 nights.  So glad I have my new Travato Camper Van “Charley” to make these trips so comfortable. Everything worked perfect!. I had two hot showers, plenty of water for dishes and everything else. Cooking, sleeping, reading, just chilling,  all so different now than when I was tent camping. 

Spending all that time in Yosemite is spiritual.  It is several days later and I am still feeling the euphoria of walking, sitting and just hanging out in the middle of forests, granite cliffs, big rocks, rivers and lakes..  My soul, my spirit… is happy.  I walked, and walked more, read my book, sat by the river, had pleasant chats with new friends, campfires! And good food was abundant. I also got to spend time with fellow Travato owners.  We all share a passion for the open road, being outside and our Travatos. 
 
The water was flowing big time and little waterfalls were everywhere you looked.  The dogwoods were just starting to bloom.  The roads had a lot of damage and construction was going on but using the shuttle to get around the valley makes everything so easy

I know that the last few days of sunshine has added to my happy.  Everywhere you look the trees are screaming green and flowers are showing off their colors. My own backyard is crazy with golden poppies. 

The days are finally heating up.  My next big trip is with my kayaking group to the Trinity River and Whiskeytown Lake. I will be trying out a KOA there in Trinity Center.  I much prefer state parks, but this was the choice for some others taking campers. Hope this is a nice one.


My sister helped me add some cabin feel to my bedroom.

 The trails are endless with so many paths to choose from.
