Just got back from Yosemite last night and it was the most wonderful place I've ever been to. Sunday was overcrowded, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the beautiful hikes and scenery.

It was dark when we got there so we stopped by the main center and grubbed on some great pizza and beer.

My buddy (left) and I (right) with some of our toys. We didn't expect rain so we headed to the store nearby and grabbed the last 2 tarps and set them up with my paracord.

It was my first time at Yosemite and I had such a great time, the only bad thing was leaving.
 
Amazing photos, thanks!

The shots of the majestic waterfalls are awesome as-is, but they are definitely improved by the presence of that squirrel in the foreground. :p

Cool knife content, too.

All the best,

Edited to add: WOW, you guys eat like kings when you camp! Nice!
 
Thats looks like a great time! You all had quite a spread for dinner ...... I'm hungry now!

great looking grub too....:D
 
Sweet pics Huy....I like the ones of Vernal Falls. That kydex you bent looks great. You want to make me one for my Ratmandu.
 
Great trip, cool pictures. Will make it to Yosemite someday. If I got to eat like that while camping I'd never go back home!

Beer with breakfast....that's hardcore !!!!!!:D:thumbup:
 
Looks like you guy's had an Awsome trip ! That is one place I would Love to visit in my Lifetime. Thanks for taking us along !
 
Great pictures! Good looking food too! You should also check out the higher elevations in Yosemite. Try driving up to Tuolumne. There are fewer people and really beautiful too.
