Getting to Bowler

This morning began with a quality breakfast from Ashley of French toast and bacon. Many of us thought we wouldn’t be getting out of Yosemite due to our van striking an illness and not wanting to start. Thankfully, a nice man with a pickup truck helped cure it. Before we left Yosemite, we stopped at Glacier Point, mildly illegally with our trailer attached. It was a truly beautiful view of pretty much the entire valley. What I thought to be the most interesting part was that we could see where the forest fire was occurring. We couldn’t see any sort of flames, but a large section of smoke was visible. After this, we made our way to Oakhurst to go shopping. Us leaving was slightly delayed as Jeff ran off to a sandwich shop with the card we needed to pay with. I must say it was quite amusing to hear “Jeff Tindall to check out” ring throughout the store. Once all the groceries were packed up, we went to a gas station nearby where Emma realized her phone was gone. She learned here not to trust technology as Find My Iphone claimed her phone was at a destination we had not traveled to, but in a grocery bag in the trailer. Better than in her backpack again I suppose. Once the phone was found and we got gassed up, we made our way through Bass Lake where we learned where The Great Outdoors was filmed. Now we have taken residence in Bowler Campground where Ashley had us create several different kinds of poop out of Plato. It was definitely one of the more entertaining outdoor ed lessons so far. Tomorrow we begin our climbing seminar. I hope it goes well for us
