<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mojavedave, post: 1436412, member: 5270&quot;]Of all the Nat&#039;l Parks I have been to, Yosemite in California is the closest to my heart.</p><p>We started going there in the mid-1950&#039;s when they had the original FIREFALLS, which was when the ranger would push lit fire ashes over the cliffs from Glacier Point. It was pretty neat when the ranger&#039;s would call out &quot;Elmer, Let the fire&#039;s fall&quot;. In those days you didn&#039;t need reservations to camp and we would spend two weeks there on the river. We went back most every year with the kids taking pictures of the same spots each year. We gave it up in the 1980&#039;s when the park became too crowded and required reservations a year in advance. The last time we were there, other people would encrouch on our campsites and we would find people laying all over the campgrown in their sleeping bags. I am glad I took a lot of pictures of the sites, so I can at least enjoy the views now, even if I don&#039;t return for an actual visit again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
