Tuolumne Meadows Camping Pictures - Page 1

August, 2006

Jessica and I just got back from vacation in one of my most favorite places on earth: Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park. We spent a week there, hiking through the wilderness, fishing in rivers and lakes, and hanging out with our friends, Andrew and Melanie.

None of our vacations are complete witout the obligatory Jeep shot. No off-road pics this time though. The National Park Service frowns upon that sort of thing.
