We still had to go ALL the way over the farthest hump out there to get back to the car. :scared1: Note the person on the trail for a distance perspective.

Although I do have several from Yosemite that required some amount of hiking the ones I posted above are all very accessible.

Hike? Not if you don't want to, most of our Yosemite photos were taken within 1/4 mile from the car.

[shep]

Some more from Smokey Mountains(Will try to take pics now on without the date on them:eek: )
Wow...The trip we got planned out West this year is making me want to include Yosemite by all these pictures...:worship: but there isn't enough time

great shot of the baby gators! guessing mama wasn't nearby:lmao:

Thanks! Actually, we knew she couldn't be too far away. It took us awhile, but we finally found her hiding in the grass right near the babies!

Nope, not sensor smutz. That is a real person. We walked miles and miles that day. DD6 kept up with us every step and never complained. Now that she is 8, she would complain. :confused3
