Iron Door Debacle

Bridal Veil Falls

The doors slammed shut on my three day camping trip thanks to the Iron Door Saloon in Groveland CA.
Not really, it was a strange trip from the beginning. I had only 4 passengers and they were all so different they didn't really get together. 2 girls were traveling together and then I had a young guy (really young) and an older woman. She was my favorite though, she traveled alot, usually camping and was really with the program.

Squirrel!

This was the first group I ever had where I finally had to show them how to use the door to the van because I wasn't going to do it for them all the time. They would just sit in the van. It was funny. This was also the first group where I had people who could care less about the scenery. Turns out I don't like that very much. I mean, you're in YOSEMITE?! I pulled up to Tunnel View which is usually where I get the Oohs and Awws, and after I parked and three of them got out I asked the last girl if she was getting out and she said "no, I can see it from here" she's in the back of the van!! I mean, seriously?? They didn't care about anything I took them to see. I finally started pulling over and taking photos myself. If they aren't going to tour I will.

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir

On the last day we went to a new place for me, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and that was totally amazing! I really like it there alot! We hiked to the Wapama Waterfall which was totally massive and splashing right onto the walk way!! I loved it! My group didn't even finish the hike. I told them we didn't have to do it but they seemed to shrug and say, no we'll go. They didn't even stop to take a photo or look around. I did, they didn't even wait up for me. I had to catch them up back at the van. Sheesh. Fun.

Wapama Falls splashdown

Needless to say the combination of stupid idiots in Yosemite sometimes, the lack of caring by the rangers to control those idiots and my group of uninterested people it was a LONG 3 day trip. I couldn't wait to get them home. Which is saying something because I usually dread going to the city and dropping them off.
