Yosemite!!!

We have had a WONDERFUL three days at Yosemite National Park! Spring and fall are the prime times to come here for full waterfalls (spring only) low to no bugs (spring and fall) and wonderful scenery! They say that summer is hot, dry and crowded and that spring and fall are great. We agree on the spring, can't wait to come back in the fall!
Rick and I took a three mile round trip hike to the base of the upper falls of Yosemite Falls. Yosemite falls is in three sections, Upper, Middle and Lower (Duh!). We figure that we climbed about 1000 feet up in that 1 1/2 miles. It was a tough hike for us old, fat, flatlanders. So out of shape!!! Rick had the misfortune to twist his knee and the trip down was quite painful. Down puts more stress on the knees than up does.
Today his knee is swollen and sore. Get out the ibuprofen for both of us!
