Number 18 El Capitan

Number 18 is a photo of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. This photo was taken when Karen and I were on vacation with her parents. My Dad and I try to ride dirt bikes at least every summer in Colorado, and Karen usually goes if she has enough vacation days left. Since we have taken a few vacations with my parents we thought it would be nice to go someplace with her parents. It was a very lovely vacation we got to see lots of things plus I did not have to do any of the driving. Not that I mind or anything, but when you are traveling someplace as beautiful as Yosemite park is it is nice not to have your eyes on the road the whole time. I still feel bad that Karen’s Dad did all the driving and had to keep his eyes on the road at least we hoped his eyes were on the road.

Well anyway, as we were driving through the park the first couple of days the sun was not really cooperating usually it was hiding behind a bunch of clouds, and as we were taking the Northside Drive road the sun broke out from the clouds and lit up El Capitan. I rolled down the window as fast as I could and snapped as many photos as I could. I would have asked Paul to stop, but it would have caused a traffic jam. The park had just started to fill up since it was late Friday afternoon on Memorial weekend. I am happy that I had my camera ready and the sun finally cooperated.
