Not all science is sacred. There is alot of junk studies that serve no useful purpose other than to keep the money flowing in to justifying some parasites tenure.
You hit the nail on the head!

$2.50 for a boat ride at Tahoe. Wow! The price now is $39.00.
Get old. The cost of the National Park system is $10 for life. Wait, I'd rather pay more and be younger.
At 72 I guess I have fulfilled that suggestion. I agree...I'd rather be younger and pay full price...and have fewer aches and pains too.

Didn't see anyone out there... but that's usually one of my goals.
It's one of my goals too but it seems to become a little more difficult each year.
Actually, often I need to hike far less away from the road here around the San Francisco Peninsula parklands to avoid seeing any people than around Yosemite and other popular Sierra destinations. And it

What makes you think they won't close Yosemite whether the dept ceiling is raised or not? It's a federal park which means it can be placed on the chopping block like any other federal facility or park. Lets think about this. In order to save Social Security, Medicare, and prevent tax increases something else has to go. What do you think that something else could be? It d

Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion While I'm getting the camera positioned in my hands I have it pointed down and for some reason I often trip the shutter. So I get a lot of fuzzy shots of my feet. At least with this setup my feet pix would be sharp.

It's been cloudy most of the day at Zephyr Cove. A few minutes ago I glanced out the window and was surprised to discover it is raining. Where that came from I dunno.
Do you think it came from the sky or other? My bet is is came from above.
By golly I hadn't thought of that. I went outside and checked. You're right.

I'll be there, at the gate, at 0800 hours, this Saturday.
Wonder if the Tioga Pass Resort and their lovely food will be open.
Might be a good idea to stop at the Mo-bile station and pick up some munchies before you start up.

I suspect it will change, just like the last 10 times it said something like that...
I plan a hike and a week before, the forecast will look like that. The day before the hike, I check again, and it's either "chance of thunderstorms" or "winter storm watch." If it hints that it might rain, I pack like there's going to be snow - we've been snowed out of coas
