"Good Night ActiveRain" from Ellery Lake in Yosemite National Park California

Photograph by Robert Swetz 2011

 

 It has been a very long week for Vegas Bob, and I would like to wish you all a "Good Night" from a very beautiful Lake in the High Sierra's of Yosemite National Park in California.

  If you look real close at the mountains in the background you might be able to see snow, over half of those mountains in the background are covered with snow. When this photograph was taken it was about 7:00pm with temperatures of 69 degrees, and there is no way VB was going to pitch a tent at this elevation with temps dropping down in the evening to 43 degrees.

I wish I could get over my "travel envy" when I read your posts! I love living vicariously but it would be a lot more fun just being there! LOL.

Hello Deb and if you keep selling those homes in Texas you will be able to travel soon, I have heard through the grapevine that many parts of Texas are doing very well in this economy!

Hi Vegas Bob - Temperatures are a lot colder where you are vacationing compared to much of the USA where 100 degrees and more are still quite common.

Thanks for the post VB. Yosemite is beautiful this time of year. I like the sign included in the picture. For those that are mathematically challenged, this lake is nearly 2 miles ABOVE sea level. I find that amazing!

Bob, that looks like SO MUCH FUN!   We still have snow capped peaks here also, even with temps in Denver of almost a 100!     Your camping sounds fun!

Gorgeous pic VB and yep - when you're at that elevation there is never a "summer break" from those cooler temps at night.  I'd much rather have your Vegas nights! :)

Hi VB,

It's been a while since I've been there. I'm sure it's still in it's glory. That high though, you might want to watch out for nose bleeds. LOL

Have a great time  my friend.
