This beautiful morning we woke up at 4:45 AM and had a delicious and nutritious meal of assorted powdered/chocolate covered donuts and applesauce. We hit the road at 6 AM and made our way to the insanely gorgeous Yosemite National Park. On our way there, we made friendship bracelets, jammed out to some awesome music, napped, and took beautiful pictures of the surrounding landscapes. Unfortunately, part of the park is inaccessible because of the amount of snowfall they had earlier in the year. The road to Yosemite Valley was open, however, at 10 AM the Valley was already at capacity and we were not able to park. No getting out and exploring Yosemite today and we were all very sad. On the bright side, we drove throughout what we could and got to see El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridal Veil Falls from our windows. While we were driving through we had a delicious lunch of walking tacos made by the Dopeys.  








After exiting the park, we drove through Sonora Pass, the second highest pass in Sierra Nevada. The steepest part was a 25% grade incline which caused us to go a mere 3 mph at times!!! Boyce, Vickie, and Maddi handled the inclines like champs!! At one point, we even pulled over to get out and play in the snow… it’s crazy that there is still snow to be seen on July 1st!!! We had a mini snow ball fight and some us made the snow yellow! After our pit spot in the snow, we continued our travels all the way to the town of Lee Vining!!! Fun Fact: there were only 7 in the graduating class of ’23 here in LV! 








Once arriving, we feasted on a delectable meal of spaghetti with meat sauce and bread. After dinner, some of us ventured up to the gas station at the entrance of our campsite to get ice cream while others elected to take warm showers. Tonight, we will sleep underneath the stars and enjoy each others’ company!! 

Tomorrow is a lengthy travel day where we will end in Tooele, Utah where we will bed down indoors once again!






Aaaachoooo! Sneezys out!
