This all sounds wonderful. The only problem is: I have no idea where you've been! I have an idea that Yosemite is in easterm California, but 'the carnival of Hwy 41' might as well be on the moon. 'Fresno' where's that? on the coast - in the hills? El Capitan I've seen via the famous Adams shot. Wawona, the Mariposa grove? Mars? I'm not trying to be difficult, but please give the rest of us an idea.
