Wrapping up my time in LA, I wanted to take one more look at the Poppy Reserve outside of Lancaster, CA. It was really windy so there wasn’t much of a display but it was still worth getting up at 5:00 in the morning.

For the first time in my life, I visited Yosemite National Park this past weekend. It was just a day trip but damn was the experience moving. I can’t wait to go back and camp there.
