Heat and Haze in Yosemite.

             When we had  woke p this morning at around 7 to get to Yosemite National Park, for which we had high hopes, it turned out to be pretty hazy. We encountered a Californian forest fire, apparently only 2 percent contained at the time. We ate breakfast and then got on the road. When we got to the park the ranger at the entrance made it seem like the whole park would be smokey.

              We decided to go to the Yosemite Valley where all of the famous landmarks are, i.e., El Capitan and the Half Dome. We went to the visitor center and watched all of the films that the little Yosemite Theater had to offer. After that we took a park shuttle to the Lodge which my father hoped would be old timey log structures but was fairly modern and hotel like. We got back to the car and drove back to the RV site because we couldn't do much with low visibility and air quality. When we got back we just passed the time playing cards and watching movies.
