    Absolutely beautiful Park! Thank you for the tour Jeff and Sarah. I've been there many times - recently riding my Harley through going over to Mono Lake. Back in my youth in 1991, a group of us from church climbed the backside of Half Dome going up those terrifying cables. I had carabiners on my harness that I moved from pole to pole until we got up to the top where we threw a football around! We were watching a disabled claimer hoisting his way up the face of the monolith and we took pictures like Sarah likes to take. Appreciate all you do and we'll see you next Sunday!

    Jeff, I'm with you on standing close to the edge of a cliff. My biggest weakness is a fear of heights. As someone once said, "it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop". Best of luck keeping Sarah out of areas marked, "Do Not Enter". Thanks Jeff and Sarah for another educational video! 😂

    Having visited Yosemite Valley many times as a youngster with my parents, going to see my uncle as he worked for the park service, sometimes in the valley, sometimes in San Francisco. We had the opportunity to stay, once in the Rangers' Club, once in the house of Ansel and Virginia Adams behind the Ansel Adams Gallery (once called Best Studio as it was owned by Virginia Best, future wife of Ansel). Years later, I lived and worked in the valley for the then concessionaire, Yosemite Park & Curry Co. When Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip visited, I and other mid level managers were required to gather outside the chapel when they and their entourage attended services. Once, when business was slow, I was required to temporarily work in the grocery store's gift shop (which I was not happy about) only to find, one day, an elderly man entered who I immediately recognized, Ansel Adams. We had a pleasant talk for about 15 minutes; he very much remembered my uncle. It turned out this was his last trip to the valley, he coming to see the flowering of the dogwoods.
    Thank you, Jeff and Sarah for the wonderful video that brought back so many memories!

    The part mentioning Overhang Rock --- All the influencers falling off mountainsides to their deaths in recent years... might be a good time to reinstate that old sign in that photo "There's a difference between bravery and just plain ordinary foolishness". It's pretty comical sometimes reading the "I said what I said" tone of vintage writings lol. The bit about Ansel Adams at the end was pretty cool. I've known about his work all my life, but I don't think I've ever seen footage of him speaking before.

    Visited Yosemite in Oct 2010. Attendance in the park was nicely light. I just parked my VW in a public lot and toured the whole park on my trail bike. The Ahwahnee was spectacular! There was a fire in the fireplace and I sat on one of the seats inside the huge hearth to warm up. Didn't do any climbing due to a lack of time. I did see several rock climbers half way up Half Dome, though; amazing!

    I was eight years old when I first went to the park. That was in 1958. At that time, we were able to play in the water, don't remember what part of the park. Why I remember, my brother and I were throwing rocks and I got hit in the head. Needless to say, we didn't get to play in the water anymore that day.

    Love, love, love Yosemite and Ahwahnee! I've visited many times. I used to live in Lodi/Stockton area and would do a day trip on my motorcycle and have a lunch at Ahwahnee. I miss it now that I live in sw Washington state. 🙋‍♂️🏍💨

    What a FABULOUS HH "fix" for my week Jeff & Sarah!!! LOVE Yosemite, although it's quite the nightmare getting in there anymore with all the population explosion. It was a nothing trip up to about 20 yrs ago, then the crowds started...Oh well, progress I suppose, although not in my book! ~Chris

    Breathtaking scenery as Mother Nature never disappoints. Sarah is dangerously close to the edge as she seems to enjoy tempting fate...that was certainly harrowing.

    Loved Sarahs smiling face peeking around the camera lens! She is hilarious, but I am so glad you told her to back up and not on be on those rock ledges. They can easily shift at anytime and that would be the end for sure... Please dont take unnecessary chances

    The manner in which you presented Kennedy offering the presidential sausage to the intern was most amusing.

      Only things that could come close to top that, is ONE, if FDR, had somehow smuggled Lucy Mercer Rutherford into The Ahwahnee; and TWO, if Bill had likewise smuggled in Monica!!

    I was there i 62 when Kennedy came threw. I was riding my Bicycle when I saw a crowd forming, I asked what was going on they said that the President was coming . that was My first time I saw a President waving at the crowd that I was standing in. I was 15. very exciting. Years later I retired From the Air Force at Castel. I was in the 93rd FMS. I lived in Merced.

      One more note....my step father at one time ran the hotel. My big bro was awarded honorary ranger for yelling for help when he saw a lady drowning in the river. Her life was saved.

    • @jbenziggy
      @jbenziggy  3 месяца назад

      Your stepdad helped run the Ahwahnee Hotel? That would be a cool thing to brag about! I'm glad your brother was in the right place at the right time to save the lady!

      @@jbenziggy There are actually quite a number of hostelries and B's & B's along the 140, leading into The Park, starting at about Hite's Cove, so it actually could be any one of those whom our commentator mentioned. I still get sinister chills up my spine, when I think of the Cedar Lodge/Cary Stayner connection.
