Yosemite 2025
June 10 – 18, 2025
In a discussion of “bucket list” places we want to go, Kathleen mentioned that near the top of her list was Yosemite. She remembered a picture of a car driving through a redwood. Unfortunately, the Wawona Drive-Thru Tree fell down in 1969. But they still have a tree you can walk through. Good enough. And since we’d be close to San Francisco, Steve and Tanya decided to join us.
After getting into San Francisco, we met with Steve and Tanya and walked through the Presidio down to the bay.
The newish Presidio Tunnel Tops park was quite the upgrade over the 101.
Of course, we stopped by the Buena Vista for Irish Coffee.
I always have at least two.

Kathleen and I stayed at Chateau Tivoli Bed and Breakfast. It is just a few blocks from Steve and Tanya's.
It was a great choice.
The main foyer and stairs.
We had a pretty sweet room.
The next morning, we headed towards Yosemite. We stopped at a couple roadside markets.
Early the next morning, we had a tour.
Having the private tour guide was fantasic. She drove us through the park and we avoided having to park. But she was a looney.
Having s'mores after checking something off our list.
