Hello everyone! It's been a little while (2 weeks to be exact). I ended up getting walking pneumonia and recently finished working 7x 12 hour shifts. I needed a couple of days of rest to finally muster up the strength to edit a new video. I'm still dealing with a persistent cough, and I'm hopeful that I make a full recovery, but there's a little doubt looming overhead. Wish me luck, and prayers are appreciated.

Anyways! I'm not even sure how this video will be received. I love sharing helpful information and if you visit Yosemite National Park without preparations, it can be one of the most FRUSTRATING experiences.

To make the most out of your Yosemite experience do the following:
A.) Bring a bicycle: The main attractions are in the Yosemite Valley, and it's only about 3 miles across. Car traffic moves at a crawl, the trams easily fill up, and there's a lot of tourists that aren't aware cutting in line is wrong.

Or..... here's another option

B.) Visit Yosemite in the Winter time, and easily land a camp spot at the upper pines campground. In the Winter, there's hardly anyone visiting. It gets quite cold, so make sure you have the right gear to make it an enjoyable experience! That's where this video comes in!!
