One tongue-in-cheek reply is that Turlock has a lot of Swedes and at least one Norwegian high school coach who delights in saying, "Ten thousand Swedes went running through the weeds, pursued by one Norwegian."

If there is indeed a Turlock in Norway/Sweden, I wonder what it translates to; "Turlock" is 'dry lake' in Irish Gaelic.

Have any of you ever seen Half Dome from the Turlock area, or more specifically, Hall Road?

EEEK already had me interested in taking another trip this year to YNP simply to travel 800 feet or so to Sierra Point (and now interested in going up the Eagle Creek Watershed) when Norway now looks a bit pleasing. Plenty of pics and info on the Pulpit Rock--here are a few from flickr--http://www.flickr.com/photos/worldwalker/64943319/in/photostream/. Given my many postings tonight, not much going on in Ohio.
