On the way up to Yosemite, we stumbled across a little village (it is essentially a trailer park in the middle of Kingsburg), named Välkommen Village

This community is only for people 55 years of age or older. In other words, a place with old ass people.

Not a single swede in this "Swedish" village

The local McDonald's paid the village a tribute by erecting a large Dalahorse in front of the building

Glacier Point, the one location in Yosemite where you can see almost the entire valley. Everything from Half Dome to the might Yosemite Falls. However, this time of year, water is scarce.

Half Dome

One of few still flowing waterfalls. This time of year the entire park dries up, and even the mighty Yosemite Falls (not pictured here) will become a subtle stripe on the mountain side.

A hotel somewhere far down in the valley

One of three flowing waterfalls, though only with a little trickle

Jesse stopped to pray once in a while. I don't blame his as the ambiance can't get much better. However, this session looked a bit funny as the hat is all you can see
