My Halloween Fun

North Rim of Yosemite Valley, from Porcupine Flat trailhead (Tioga Road) to El Cap and back. All to myself except for a few homos near the top of Yosemite Falls. Beautiful day.

What are homos? Are they like marmots?

They are men who live on top of mountains, leering at buff studs who climb them and take pictures. Sometimes they will club them unconscious, and drag them back to their mountain caves where they violate them and then remove all memory of the raping. So, are you sore from your trip?

Can anyone tell I am bored at work today?

I'm talking about Homo Sapiens, you know, people. What the heck are you talking about? Bunch of freaks.

That is mother nature at her best. Why would anyone want to live in a big city.

So coooooooooooool...wonderful pics. It's a very nice portion of your country.

It looks like you snuck Cloud's Rest and Washington's Column into that last pic. Looks like you had perfect traveling weather... I lived in Yosemite Valley for three years back in the seventies. Thanks for taking me back!!!

I happened to catch the last 15 minutes (or so) of a Nat. Geographic special in the wee hours this morning on Yosemite (I think it was new - 2007). Some guy was climbing the face of El Capitan...it was awesome! I've got to remember to set my DVR to record the whole thing...thought you guys might be interested.

WOW that was awesome! ! I'm with KC you won't see me do it roped in, but I can appreciate how great that was. That guy has to be arguably one of the greatest athletes in the world.

Someday me the 911 and my lucky lady are going to road trip it out to Northern California.
