| This Panhandler waddled up the road as we waited in line to get into the park. He knew what he was do'in. |

We arrived at the Sierra Meadows RV Park in Ahwahnee,CA Friday afternoon. Its a nice little park about 2.5 miles out of Oakhurst, CA. Oakhurst is a neat little town nestled in a valley just before you begin your assent up into the mountains toward the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park. Saturday morning we set out to explore Yosemite. It was overcast in the valley and as we ascended the cloud cover grew and we got rain and a smattering of snow. As we approached the entrance to the park the traffic was backed up about 3/4 of a mile and it took us about 30 minutes more or less to get to the gate. We drove on in to the first visitors area and there were people everywhere. I grabbed a couple of coffee's and some cookies at the park store while Charlotte waited about 20 minutes in line to go the the bathroom. It was damp, cold and crowded. As we sipped our coffee and indulged in a cookie or two we decided this wasn't for us. So we headed on back out of the park with hopes of a better day in Yosemite on Sunday. The rest of our day was spent wine tasting in Mariposa, CA and grocery shopping in Oakhurst. All was not lost.
