Yosemite-Idaho-Oregon-Nor Cal

I just got back from a long trip seeing parts of the country I've been itching to explore.

Link to my route:
My Route

First stop was Yosemite.  I've been there numerous times but was ready to go again.  I spent 4 days there and it rained the entire time.

I pretty much drove straight through Nevada camping one night on BLM land outside of Winnemucca.  It rained my entire drive through Nevada too.

I was kind of lost on the road below.  Both my GPS and map were pointing me in a direction where no trail existed.  Eventually the road narrowed and narrowed until it was a barely worn dual track.  I turned around and backtracked 50 miles.

Is that last photo your dog or a moose?

Bella is probably almost as tall as the moose.



Looks like a great trip Jeff. Nice pictures.  Too bad it rained so much in Nevada, that is a fun place to explore.

Great pictures Jeff. How did the RTT work out?

Great!  So easy to pack and unpack it's not really an issue moving every day.  But, if I was staying in one place for a week and needed to drive my truck everyday it would get annoying putting it away everyday.  I was lucky that for the Yosemite portion of the trip I had a couple friends join me so we used their vehicles.  In a perfect world I'd have the tent on a trailer so I could leave the trailer behind.

Awesome pics Jeff! Yosemite never looked so grand! Great picture of Bella too!

Thanks for sharing!

Those are some really beautiful pictures in what looks to have been an amazing trip, can't beat some of those locations (Yosemite is a favorite of mine)!

Sweet trip!

Is that the mist trail in the first few pics?  I haven't been there in too long.

Yes! you got it right.  We hiked that day to Vernal and Nevada Falls.
