Greetings from Yosemite National Park

On a family tour of several National Parks several decades ago, we unpacked a picnic and set up near a sparkling stream to eat. I will never forget that day. National Parks are our last great refuge!

Sincerely,

    I don't have a photo, but I finally got to see where my husband rockclimbed amidst such beauty. As we drove into the park, while listening to the music from the movie The Last of the Mohicans, the first view we saw was Bridalveil Falls straight ahead across the valley…
