Quick trip to visit Jacob in Yosemite.



After the trip to the Oregon coast we drove down to Yosemite (long drive) to see Jacob while he is working in Yosemite for 3 months. His friend, Katie, got him a job there. He is loving it, fresh air, meeting new people from all over the world, feels healthy and strong. We took a short hike to Dog Lake, watched a presentation on frogs, swam in the river, had dinner, went to a campfire and star gazed. We were just sorry that we didn't have more time. Miss ya Jacob.

Climbing in Tuolumne (2wallome)



This dome is called "Crying Time Again" - good name for it. Jake has climbed this and many other climbs. He didn't inherit my fear of heights - luckily!!

"Bear Host"




Here's Jake showing off his co-workers.
He is a Bear Host, no he doesn't greet people naked, he tracks, relocates and chases bears in the park. This mama bear and her cub were across from his campsite!!

Quick dip in the river before dinner
