It's almost impossible to get a campsite in Yosemite. Let alone the week of...luckily that's where Hipcamp comes in. We may not have been inside the park. But we were close. And we booked the site week of. AND it was clean and quiet and not crowded. Thank you Luke for snagging that site for a cou...

It was a quick but busy week and I was in class most of the time (contrary to popular belief). I'd been busy and I knew I was getting that itch to go outside.
