The Albatross
Friday 23 February 2024
After a super quiet night in our fantastic cabin out in whoop whoop, we went back into Yosemite today, I had driving duties so Tuna could sample the vistas. Basically, we did a reverse loop of the big triangular drive we did yesterday, however with a detour up a gorge with stunning views over waterfalls.
We managed to dodge the village and the mayhem in there, so it really was just looking at pretty scenery. The congestion in the village is rather artificial as all they have to do is open a few more of the carparks (which are closed for no obvious reason).
One thing that amazes me is that the instant people are on holidays, many lose all rational thought and will happily stand in the middle of the road in a busy carpark, or just walk down a road oblivious to the cars behind them. Horsetail Falls are still a joke, however there are only two weeks a year when they light up in the sunset. Last night’s sunset was basically non-existent and there is a trickle of water coming over them. Tomorrow and Sunday are going to be so busy to see this wonder of nature that you need to book park entry. Fortunately, we’ll be on our way.
