Photos

Alright so here are a few photos from Yosemite to here:

Photobucket
Yosemite just after Donohue Pass

Photobucket
This was where we got our first storm. It hailed for a bit, then just poured and crazy thunder and lightning in the open fields.....kinda scary.

Photobucket
But by the time we left it was gorgeous!

Just outside of Yosemite we reached the 1,000 mile mark!! It was crazy fun (and mom parachuted in......only to land in a tree. have the video, but it takes too long to upload)

Photobucket
One of my favorite spots thus far was Sonora Pass. There were sooo many cool rocks, and the colors were beautiful!

Photobucket
Raymondland (as I call it as everything is named after Raymond) was my favorite so far. Unfortunatly all the beautiful colors did not really show up in the photo. It was absolutely gorgeous in person!

Photobucket
Lassen National park was also very awesome. All kinds of hydrothermal activity and it was awesome!

Photobucket
Boiling pond with bubbling mud. It was very fun

Photobucket
The smoke was really bad around the fire areas. It turned the moon red

Photobucket
I tried to eat 5 lbs of pancakes in Seiad Valley

Photobucket
I only made it through 1 1/2 before the taste was making me sick (I could have eatten more if not for that- and we did go and get other food right afterwards for me to eat)

Photobucket
The smoke was aweful coming out of there.....but we got past it in a couple of hours thankfully

Photobucket
And we make it to Oregon!

Photobucket
It was soooo hot when we got there. We had carried celebration beverages from Seiad Valley, left hem out during the night to get cold, then wrapped them in our clothes to stay cool. So we had a nice cold beer (root beer for me) to celebrate getting out of California!

Photobucket
We got stormed on again oputside of Crater Lake. Much bigger hail and we were hoping it would not rip through the tent!

Photobucket
Thor sent me an excavate a dinosaur egg thing which was a lot of fun. Now I have my fossilized dino looking out for me

Photobucket
Going up towards the rimof CRater Lake it was really foggy. We were hoping it would clearup by the time we got there so we could see the lake.

Photobucket
When we got to the rim it was white. Then it got patchy foggy so we could see a little bit.

Photobucket
Then by the time we got to the north side it was sunny and gorgeous! The lake really was awesome, and to think how big it is and how awesome of an explosion that must have been to make it.....it was crazy

Photobucket
View from our last campsite before coming to visit Raymond's grandparents. It was gorgeous

Photobucket
And in the morning there was crazy mist on the lake. It was pretty cool.

And that is all for now. Oh and Raymond was in charge of uploading the photos and he didn't put them in the pct folder. So if you click on the link, then on the left hand side there are albums listed click on bbarnicle 22 and the first 18 pages or so are pct pics.

Campervan Adventures in Bavaria: Eibsee & Bremsee & Fungi

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee. 

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
