Donna Explores the Great Outdoors
|
|
As I write today’s article, I’m sitting on a picnic table surrounded by large green trees and a flowing river. We have been at this campsite in Oakhurst, California for five nights. Like others, we have used this campsite as a place to sleep at night while we explore the great outdoors each day.
In the past five days, my husband and I have taken a nine hour tour of Yosemite which included the breathtaking views from Glacier Point; walked the streets of Mariposa which are the original street grids laid out in 1850 and we had a picnic and floated on beautiful Bass Lake.
However, my most favorite adventure, thus far, was the Moonlight Special aboard the 3 foot narrow gauge Sugar Pine Railroad near the south gate of Yosemite. I love to ride trains and this may have been one of my favorites.

|
