Yosemite is quite amazing.  Truly beautiful and grand.  It was my first visit.  I was blown away by the size of the big walls.  I nearly pet a deer on accident.  And I watched small bears walk through camp 4, 10 feet away from people.  Everyone acted like it wasn't a big deal at all.  I guess it wasn't--and its only because it was so new to me.  The granite is top notch.I didn't accomplish my main goal (midnight lightning [it's hard!]), but climbed a couple nice boulders in the Cathedral area.  Met up with some old friends, and was blown away by the setting.  Nature at it's finest.    And I can't wait to get back..  Anyone from socal who wants to carpool on up-let me know!  

Quote of the weekend: a friend who will rename nameless, who's initials start with james and end with lucas, gave me a tour of the camp 4 bouldering, as we wrapped up the hike, we found ourselves off the trail and trudging through an area we shouldn't be. he said "This is YOSAR-feel free to take a shit anywhere you want."
