YOSEMITE -- We were sightseeing and checking out the Ahwahnee hotel when part of the granite mountainside behind the hotel began to crumble. It sounded like gunfire. Made the windows in the hotel shake. The workers immediately evacuated the hotel. Car alarms were going off. Smoke from the slide poofed up in a big cloud. Very exciting.

We had to walk back to our cabin in 90 degree heat because they stopped running the buses out there. My trip is complete...we saw one bear, had another one rummaging outside our tent cabin this morning and woke to a random guy with a mop yelling at it and chasing it off (favorite quote"shoo bear, go away bear--ok, take your picture--shoo, bear!"...the ok take your picture was directed at some person outside), saw two bucks, 4 deer, one fawn, one coyote, one raccoon (my daughter's favorite) and approximately 253 squirrels...and the rock slide. Never a dull moment in Yosemite!!

The Yosemite NP has been a disaster recently. Wawona Hotel closed and 11 people sick because of a bear repellent spray open in a bedroom. Extensive fires closing down Highway 120 and evacuating Forestra & Crane Flat campgrounds. Now the Ahwanee under rock falls. Hopefully Camp Curry won't suffer any more of these rock falls til the end of the season. My option: head to Tuolumne Meadows! When 120 re-opens, that is.

It appears that you have placed a lot of effort into your article and I require more of these on the net these days. I sincerely got a kick out of your post. I don't really have much to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply wonderful work.
