Death Valley – Yosemite – San Francisco

For the rest of the story:

PART ONE: San Francisco and PCH to Santa Barbara (direct link)
PART TWO: Los Angeles to Las Vegas (direct link)

Leaving Vegas and heading to Death Valley

 

Getting acquainted with Wile E. Coyote

 

Arriving too late at Furnace Creek, no vacancies

 

… no vacancies at the next stop either, so we head to the even more remote, yet friendly town of Beatty

 

Next day, a short stop in “ghost town” Rhyolite

 

Riding through a pretty sad area on our way to an overnight in Bakersfield

Lunch in Oakhurst

Arriving in the evening at Yosemite (Fish Camp area)

“Breakfast included”

Ansel Adams-country (Yosemite Valley)! A real treat for anyone who studied photography

 

Early morning snow …

 

Heading out of Yosemite, towards Merced (lunch) and Modesto (over night)

A windy afternoon in Merced

 

Then returning to San Francisco

Golden Gate Park (it’shuge and full of great stuff!)

A blues concert on the last night … 🙂
