Yosemite!

You're not related to a Johnathan Wood in San Juan Capistrano, are you? You look like you could be his brother!

Nope, my name is plural, as in two trees :-)

Great pictures. One of my all time favorite places.

I too worked there one summer, back a few years. I have also done extensive backpacking in all parts of the park.

Had to ask! Johnathan was my sons Little League coach this season before he (my son) moved up from Single A to Double A. First playoff game this evening!

Sorry for the :hijack:

You might check out the Old Coulterville Road at the west portal of the park that medicmahem mentioned in his post.

The road is covered in the book Backcountry Adventures Northern CA. There are a lot of NFS roads aorung the north end of the park. If you are coming this way you can contact me as I live 90 mimutes from Yosemite in the Central Valley.

Since this year's snowpack is below average, it's possible that some of the waterfalls may be dry by this summer.
Compare this picture of Yosemite Falls taken mid-day from Sentinel Dome by Nathan Woods in the summer of 2004 (also a relatively dry year),

and this picture of Yosemite Falls taken late in the afternoon from Glacier Point (about 1 mile east of Sentinel Dome) that I took on May 15, 2007:
