Road Trippin’
with Steve McCarthy
Yosemite Sam Memorial Trophy Dash--Day Two
THE GREATEST NATURAL WONDER IN THE WORLD. Or one of them anyway. There are some caveats to a trip to Yosemite. First, ALWAYS check to see if the roads into the park are open. ALWAYS. Fires, landslides, and snow can always impact this trip. Expect the unexpected. Now, I’ve TRIED to make sure the directions work, but remember, from past trips to the area, GPS,Maps, Reality don’t always dovetail together. Have a good map with you and look sharp for road signs, and be careful, locals seem to think it’s a fun game to rotate signs!
The next bit of advice is to pack a lunch, but DO NOT LEAVE FOOD IN THE CAR THE BEARS WILL RIP YOUR CAR APART TO FIND IT!!!!! The Ahwahnee is one of The Great Resort Hotels, but the food there is EXPENSIVE. There are other places to get food in the park, but it’s only not as expensive as the hotel. It’s up to you.
Third-BRING A CAMERA! Stop at Inspiration Point, just out of the tunnel leading into the park. It is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes. If it doesn’t, there is something seriously wrong with you! Handel should be ringing in your ears when you pop out of that tunnel!
As usual, enjoy the roads, understand that this is one of THE most popular places to visit, so be patient with the traffic. Have Fun and watch out for Crazy Rabbits!
