all day on the road











we finally got into Yosemite today and it was spectacular! the falls were actually flowing which was a shock since the roads were snow covered and icy, it was well worth the wait! benny (the jeep) did amazing and only slid once and even then it was just minor. famished from not eating we decided that the next food place we see we are stopping...the airport bar and grill it was. chris and i stood out like a sore thumb from the locals in the bar. but they were friendly and even wished us a happy journey as we left. so we started our day on the road at 10am and am now just checked into our hotel in tahoe at 9pm talk about a long day! the roads were slow going since it was just one lane each way and windy and twisty for the majority of the trip, benny even got his first road battle scar on highway 80 from a piece of salt bouncing up and cracking the windshield 80( hopefully it won't spread too much! we hit our 1000 mile on the road today and in the next two days we will hit 2000 as we have two full days of driving ahead of us to get to Denver by Thursday. i'll let the pictures speak for me tonight as now i just need to stretch my legs and relax...oh and did i mention it is only 8 degrees here?
