Hetch Hetchy 09'

Hetch Hetchy, for those who know not, is a reservoir in Yosemite that provides all of the drinking water for San Francisco. If any of you Bay Area types taste a little tang in your water, well, you know.

Poor photo from the access road:



Hey, little Buddy - California Newt:



Mordor:



More Mordor:



Wapama Falls - 1200 feet high:



Our objective, Rancheria Falls:



And, finally, the only picture of me you will ever see - thank me later:

Strange, but Oil appears to be on a collision course with your son finding his way back from '56 races.

Heard there was a picture of Burnin' Oil and had to come back for a visit.
