HSVROC, a real nice trip!!! A few pics of going up Yosemite (I prefer Jellystone, but, hey...)
Just some mountains, but the camera can't do 3D. You can't get the depth perception of it all on a camera. You'll notice the clouds are getting darker as I go up....

Got trashed and hammered!!!! Fire and brimstone!! OK .... rain ...lots of it and some flashes... I was in summer gear and froze my....... Yup, it was a stark and dormy day....

Finally had to go for the leather gloves and mesh jacket liner... 'course by then, I was past the worst of it.. The last Yosemite pic was looking back up the road at the storm from Lee Vining. I was headed for Whoa Nelly Deli!!!! Don VSP said it was good and it was!!!!
