Yosemite Camping Reservations

If you want to stay in Yosemite National Park (pronounced yo!-sim-it-tea) this summer you better get on your PC right now and make reservations or you might end up just driving through. The National Park service reports that over 3.63 million people visit Yosemite with one million of them coming in July and August. Because the valley is about 3000-4000 feet deep, NPS suggest you use a shuttle bus. It reduces the emissions that linger in the park. Entrance to the park is $20 by car and $10 by foot or motorcycle.

Yosemite is one of the United States top national parks and is a must see for both Americans and foreign tourists alike. If you’re a camper, you’ll appreciate Camp 4. If you’re lucky enough to get a spot there, you’ll likely be sharing a site with a world class rock climber as Half Dome and El Capitan are two of the most famous climbs that any climber could have on their resume.

And don’t stop at the valley! Tuolumne Meadows (pronounced Toe-walla-mean) is in the upperlands of Yosemite at about 8600 ft elevation is equally beautiful and a lot less crowded. You’ll appreciate the views that the variety of events and outdoor activities in which you can get involved.

We spent our share of time traveling through Europe on a motorcycle. This is an excellent PSA (Public Service Announcement) from the BBC (British Broadcasting System). Why don’t any American television stations run these ads?

Cubs Hire Fukudome

Paddy Wallbouncer — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:44:46 +0000

Here come the third grade jokes. But we won‘t get into that just now. The banners at the ball park in the spring will tell that story. When Kosuke Fukudome performed his magic at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, the Cubs organization had a keen eye to sign him with their Chicago team.

Fukudome decided to leave offers from the Japanese league to pursue a four year $48 million dollar contract as the Chicago Cubs number one first round free agent draft target. Besides getting to play his favored position –left field, it is rumored that one of his reasons for joining the Cubs is that they are such lovable losers. The cubs haven’t won a world series in over a century now.

The 30 year old Fukudome has an impressive career to date with two golden gloves, a .305 batting average and 2006 Central League MVP awards to his name. He will be the first Japanese born starter to play for the Cubs major league team.
