Finally!

Glad there will be some water in Yosemite Falls when we go next weekend!

I guess I better bring my tire chains on Friday...

Remember you are supposed to carry them this time of the year anyway. We drive a 4WD with snow tires and twice we have been asked to show our chains and there was not a storm in sight.

Good point. Thanks.
