14-Oct-1999 Thursday


We almost forgot how clouds look like, but today we had the chance to see some of them... later we saw something like clouds again, but this time it was smoke and it smelled like a big BBQ! We thought they wanted to burn down the Yosemite Park but it was a management fire only, phew...

We drove down to the Yosemite Valley and Fabian wanted to show me the Mirror Lake, but there was no mirror and no lake! It seems that the lake dried up in the last eight years since Fabian was here the last time...
But no panic! There are some other lakes (on the Tioga pass) in the Yosemite National Park!

As usual we could enjoy another wonderful sunset on our way to Modesto where we will stay over night.
