Day 12- Bishop, Ca. to Clovis, Ca.

Here are some random video clips from the boys... Randy will update the blog entry later.

Bishop is a neat little town- "The gateway to Death Valley and Yosemite." Terri, the desk clerk at the Rodeway Inn, is a hoot!
We rode out of Bishop up to Yosemite across Tioga Pass. It is absolutely stunning up there- Ansel Adams really was onto something. The forests, meadows and rocks are great, but what impresses me the most about the area is the amount of water. We'd be at 5-6000 feet, and there are running streams and lakes- all crystal clear (and cold!). We first went down to the valley floor where Yosemite Village is located, and checked out the Ansel Adams gallery, the Yosemite museum, and the daily lunch special at the grill- sloppy joe with fries. We then rode up to Glacier Point for a "top view" of the place. Glacier Point is my favorite spot in the park so far- incredible views of Half Dome, waterfalls, sheer rock faces and some nice hiking.
After soaking in all we could stand at Yosemite, we set the GPS's to "Jim & Joy" and off we rode down 41 to Clovis, arriving about 7:00 that evening. Hank, Jim and I immediately set out (in a car- air conditioning while you travel! What a concept!) to find some food. Jim took us to a great Mexican place where we swapped stories and closed the place down, whic sounds really cool, but it was Sunay in Clovis, which means we stayed there 'til all of 9:00...
Then home to Jim & Joys for a bit of conversation and bed.
