Growing up in Fresno provided quick access to Yosemite and as soon as I could drive, I drove up often. In fact, one day during my senior year at McLane - my friend Tom Dienst and I ditched class for the day to drive there. We pulled into Yosemite Lodge, parked the car and hiked to the very top of Yosemite Falls. We took a quick look around and hiked back down and returned to Fresno before we were late to arrive at home from our regularly scheduled last class! Now that is a close drive. Below is a great time lapse video of the entire drive from Fresno to the Wawona entrance station in 9 minutes. It all looks very familiar as I sometimes thought I had each curve memorized!
