You Don’t Look Sick – Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis: DAY 3 IN YOSEMITE

This morning started early after a long day yesterday. The burning sensation disappeared. I’m pretty sure it was something in the bath oil that caused me to have a bad reaction.

I drove to Yosemite (it’s an hour away) via the one-way bridge that cars cross in both directions. I got into the Yosemite gate pretty quickly. I drove another 20 minutes to the meeting spot. I was early so I stopped to take some photos at some take-out points.

I met up with Katherine and we got in her car to go to the next spot. It was Tuolumne Grove to see the gigantic majestic redwood trees. We walk through the forest.

Then we got in the car and drove to Olmsted Point where we walked a bit, took pictures and meditated for a while. There’s a fire in the park, so today the air was smoky.

Then we went to Taneya Lake where we ate a packed lunch she brought. It was nice to sit in her camp chairs and have lunch by a beautiful lake. One interesting fact: the boulders and trees all had rings around them. It was a trail left by the lake this year after the historic snowfall. The water rose so high!

Then we went to Tuolumne Meadow to Soda Springs. It’s a nice walk to see water that is actually naturally carbonated. Scientists can’t figure out why. I also used an outhouse for the first time in a long time.

We then headed back to Olmsted Point because the smoke cleared and I was able to get a better photo.

That was the end of my tour/walk for the day. I drove back to the room to shower and get ready for dinner. Tonight I decided to get take out and eat on my porch.

Now I have to go to bed, because tomorrow is coming soon. It was going to rain, so this walk will be interesting!

By the way, if you’re interested in the dog, she was caught watching football with her boyfriend.

Of course she comes from Chihuahua Mexico….
