Yosemite (Day 5)

Yosemite (Day 5)

Devils Post Pile (nps.gov/depo).  Another geological oddity that you will need to look up to get a full idea of it. 

Went to Pita Pit for lunch – Seth rates it in the top 5 favorites restaurants of all time!

Fossil Falls was our next stop.  It was formed by lava cooling then a huge waterfall flowing across this vast expanse of dry dessert.  Amazing.  More climbing.  And our trained eyes are not spotting anchors for rock climbers and hand holds for Lay backs.  Seth desparately wanted to climb down into a hole that he could see through.  He didn’t tell me that once he got through the hole he would have been stuck on a ledge with no way of getting down safely…I had to pry that danger out of him.  I said he could come back when he was 18 and I was not legally responsible for him any longer.

Begging to be allowed in the hole.  You can see the hole - it is the dark area just to the right of this right foot.
