My brother got off on his hike to Half Dome
at 6 a.m.: his wife and I took a more leisurely path.
A day of wandering, taking pictures of the
local grey squirrels, a lovely red-headed woodpecker, a family of deer, then
two “teenagers” who seemed to be wandering on their own – no mom in sight – the
weather was perfect with the air clearer than yesterday.
Park employees are mostly very upset – we,
as the lucky few – are enjoying the peace and quiet. Yes, many roads are
closed, but there is sufficient food and restaurants in three areas to keep us
fed and watered. As the park empties enjoying it with only the deer and other
animals, sprinkled with a few humans here and there, makes for an extraordinary
trip: one of my best to the park.
