This was Mac’s first visit to San Francisco, I’ve been a few times through work.  We both enjoyed ourselves … we did a re-con of downtown, planning where we’d go on day trips over the next 5 months.

Waited for trick-or-treaters last night … not a one came knocking on our door … so what if we live on the far edge of a parking lot, in the middle of nowhere? … it could happen.  We tensely waited for a knock for about an hour and then had to turn off the porch light … ran out of candy.

We had a great time driving through Yosemite National Park this morning.  Temperature at our park (Orange Blossom) was in the 70′s and at Yosemite in the 50′s.  We wanted to visit before the snow started in late October  and closed the roads.

The photos display the internal beauty of the park … granite mountains, forests … really, really awesome. 

Most of our time was wandering the roads, trying to find waterfalls, meadows, etc.  We’ll go back again to hike some of the trails.  The park is only an 1 1/2 hours away.

You know what’s so great about no one reading this blog?  I can write anything I want, about anyone I want, and no worries about who I’m offending.  

But, on the other hand, if someone is bored and bops in here for a look-see, I’ll be in deep caw-caw when they start reading my thoughts … and I won’t know my life’s in danger until it’s too late.  

Hum … that’s a judgement call I’ll have to think about.

Signed, Mac (just kidding, it’s Ellen … just testing my ability to get out of  hot water fast)

p.s. Get the title?  ‘western front’ … California … west of the rest of the U.S.?    See … I wrote a stupid joke and no one read this to boo … now that’s what I’m talking about!
