Yosemite National Park, California - Utah


We left San Fran Wednesday morning for the 4-hour drive East to Yosemite National Park....where we had a really good look around the park, which to be fair...was awesome!!!! We weren't originally meant to be going there, but we realised we'd made up a day whilst in California; in our haste to avoid a night in the LA area!! So it was definitely a bit of a bonus day - park was absolutely beautiful, and the pic above is one of about 20 I could have picked from!!
It took us a bit of time to get clear of Yosemite with its winding roads with steep climbs & drops - which obviously made for some excellent driving!!! We were out of there for about 8pm though, and then headed to a place North East of there called Fallon, which returned us to the state of Nevada.
There was pretty much nothing there, but we only used it as a place to crash so didn't mind one bit! We were then back on the road this morning (Thursday) - through the Nevada desert, lets just say upstate Nevada is certainly no Las Vegas!! But anyway, we drove the 450 miles or so to Salt Lake City, Utah, with no dramas - just a very open road Eastward-bound with a 75mph speed limit!! We're in Salt Lake for a couple of nights now so looking forward to checking it out tomorrow, the only other thing to report really is that we are now back in the Mountain Time Zone - so just the 7 hours behind the UK once again.
