Sunset last night...sunrise this morning.

Super Driver was in his seat and on the road before 7:00 this morning. I was in the naviguesser seat, telling him where to go. I just love my job! I take it very seriously and I’m good at it. I’ve had 54 years of practice.
As we came through Groveland, we were on a parade route. People were waving and we were honking and waving, too. This is the second time we’ve been in a parade. The first parade was for a Strawberry Festival somewhere in Kentucky. The one today seemed to be pioneer days or gold mining days. There were a lot of people in Groveland for the occasion.
We saw huge forest fire burns in the Yosemite area and there was smoke in the air. It must take a long time for the smoke to dissipate. Signs along the way warned of extreme fire danger.

As we drove east toward Tioga Pass, we didn’t see any evidence of fires in the past. It was a beautiful drive, but lots of traffic coming our way.
At Lee Vining, we turned south on Hwy. 395. After stopping at a Rest Area for naps and lunch, we went on into Bishop. We have stopped there in the past years and knew we could park at Von’s Super Market.
After getting settled, we went to the Inyo National Forest Visitor Center. Our search for information about camping on public lands was successful. We have a lot of reading to do before deciding where we might like to spend a few days before continuing our journey south.
Tonight, we watched the Oregon Ducks play Western Washington State. Although the Ducks managed to win, it wasn’t one of their better efforts.
