17.8.22 - From Mammoth Lakes through Yosemite to Mariposa

Good morning

The weather is good! However, it feels 20 degrees colder than in Vegas.

Last night, I got up and checked on the car parked right outside my hotel window. In that moment, a brown bear 🐻 leisurely walked past my window. 😃

It was really strange to see it live.

Now I'm heading to Mariposa through the park.

The journey to Mariposa was very eventful. It took me a total of 5 hours with all the stops. The drive was spectacular! I was able to take great photos. However, Yosemite Valley was very crowded. I stayed in the car and took occasional photos.

Mariposa itself is just like what you imagine a small US town to be. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
