Packin' My Bags.......

We're heading for a photo shoot in Yosemite National Park..

Terrible time to go...right in the middle of the last few weeks of summer vacation...... Just what I want... a bunch of ankle biters around when I'm trying to get some peace and quiet in a remote location..

Oh well........ I suppose I'll have a good time..

Mrs Tools has some steaks, chicken, green things..snacks, and fresh ground Starbucks to make up some fixen's while we're staying in the couple of places we have rented out...

I've checked...they have wireless Internet, so I'll pack you guys along too...... we'll have a party.. No photo program in the laptop, so you'll have to wait until I get back to see how much fun you had..


...... Let's see...what else...

Oh, yeah.... I'll have a Rolex strapped to my wrist.... so will the Mrs.......

Hope you and Mrs Tools have a wonderful trip, Larry.

We'll all be looking forward to the photos.

Have a great time Larry! We were there for the first time last summer and it was amazing! FWIW, most of the kids in my area have started school already. If you are traveling through Sacramento, and you want to meet up for a cup of coffee/whatever, let me know! Here was a pic of one of my favorite spots, appropriately named Mirror Lake!

I'd take you up on it, but we're coming through Mammoth Mountain, Lee Vining, and over Tioga Pass... in from the back side.......... then at a small ranch on the park floor... a couple days of hiking and photos, then back out.........

I'll keep it in mind for next time.............

...Great shot..

I am disappointed!! Being a moderator you should have arranged to have a GTG in Yosemite!! That would have been a blast!! Let us know when you will be there and where in the park so we can come and torture you!!

Larry, sound like you and the misses will have a great time out in the great wide open. So snap a few and give us a tour when you get back!!!
As for getting naked: Too much information.....
