Summer Solstice 2023

Wednesday, June 21, 2023


Off we went.  Back “home.”  It was the Summer Solstice and National Naked Hiking Day.  I can’t think of a better place to celebrate both.  Clarification: Parfait represented the naked hiking portions.



Yosemite is still beautiful and a place close to our hearts. Perfect weather, manageable traffic and crowds, a substantial walk, conversations with great former co-workers, and knowing where to have a quiet away from the crowds picnic made for a wonderful day.
