Memorial Day at Wassama











Since Wassama is a closed historic park, the only event we have had so far this season was the Memorial Day event. The VFW post came to honor our only Miwok veteran, World War I veteran, "Banjo" Graham, Pvt. 13th Company 20th Engineers. MSG Bernie Koch wore his uniform for the occasion.

Yosemite 2011



The falls this year are at 190% flow. We went after July 4 with Phil and Monica Nebe from Virginia. The falls from left to right and top to bottom are Nevada and Vernal with a view of Half Dome in the foreground, Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View, Yosemite Falls from the Valley, and Bridalveil Falls from the parking lot.

Mowing at Wassama


Millerton purchased a new mower just for use at Wassama because the old one was always getting stuck. The crew took about 4 1/2 hours to do all the mowing and weedeating.

Wildflowers at Wassama


This is called, "A Farewell to Spring." We have enjoyed the wildflowers on the hillsides in the foothills this spring.
