Day 9: Yosemite Part 2

FYI, it is very hard to get rooms at the Yosemite Lodge in the summer. Originally I had booked unheated tent cabins in Curry village thinking it would be a nice treat. Upon further consideration, I decided it might not be a good idea. Therefore, I called everyday for a week until I got one room for two nights.

Since Bop and Pete had a bit of cabin fever from being inside in the afternoon and the rest of us had successfully recuperated from our hike, we decided to check out the Curry Village in the event we might want to stay there in the future. So the whole crew gets on the shuttle and we decide to make a quick stop at the Visitor center to view the displays and then we head for Curry Village to get dinner and check out scene. Well it was a bit dark by the time we got there and so we could not really walk around. But it was a bit more lively than the lodge crowd. The mountaineering school is located here and there were a number of people hanging out sharing their stories of that day's adventures. We decided on the buffet but unfortunately it was closing as we got there and the selection was limited. So we eat dinner and then decide to head home.

Turns out the shuttles are not as efficient in the evening and we wait a fair amount of time in darkness and the chilly night air to get back to the lodge.
