On the Road Again: Yosemite to Manzanar

We woke up Wednesday morning, and drove into Yosemite again. Even the crowds and RVs couldn't make the place less beautiful, but there was a lot more traffic and congestion than there had been the night before. We swam in the brisk, chilly Merced River, joined by a mama duck with her four chicks. Continuing across the northern road, through the meadows, we caught a glimpse of a brown bear grabbing some breakfast in a field. We came out of the park, and hit even more mountains, just as beautiful as those in the park. We then turned south, to Lone Pine, and Manzanar.
