Athena Plichta Photography

one of my photography idols.

We stayed at the Wawona Campground (near South entrance to the park). Less crowded and touristy and therefore more peaceful than campsites in the Valley (35 miles away ~ scenic drive). The waters of the Merced lull you to sleep at night.

We went away for a couple days to one of our favorite places. Semi-roughed it... no showers, nightly temps in the 20's, incredibly cramped in our trailer... we all came home with the beginnings of colds and sniffles and reeking of campfire (still are).

We'd do it again, of course.
