Well friends, it was a good trip (Yosemite).
Day 1--long travel, got to Mariposa, hiked the sequioa grove, got to campsite and set up.
Day 2--hiked Inspiration Point near the tunnel, later hiked the mist trail (vernal and nevada falls) and got COLD and SOAKED! Camped at night.
Day 3--Hiked Upper Yosemite Falls! (2,600 ft up) and watched brave young guys tightrope walking on a cable over the falls!!!!!!!!!! got lucky at the Wawona campground reservations and got another site for this night.
Day 4--drove out through Tioga Road on the FIRST day it opened!! We drove out the east side and up to Lake Tahoe where we had dinner and camped. Took a full 15 minute immersion/swim in Lake Tahoe--very cold!!
Day 6--took a nice hike directly from out campsite at the Meeks Bay campground at Tahoe and went up and walked on some snow and overlooked the Lake. Very nice temperatures every day so far. Drove to San Rafael hotel.
Day7--Did San Fran--fisherman's wharf, China Town, etc. Stayed in hotel.
Day8--Did Napa/Sonoma wineries, then flew back home on a red-eye flight.

This was a really good trip and the other couple we went with made it fun for us also. Thanks for the previous help on this forum everybody.
