Backpacking in the National Park<\/h2>\n

In the Spring of 1971 I graduated from college. I had already been drafted and taken my physical exam and was now waiting to get called up. Along with my girlfriend, we decided to take a trip to the west coast. We ended up backpacking and were gifted a bus ride from the San Francisco area to Yosemite National Park by my generous uncle.<\/p>\n

This article is the another in a series of articles that I\u2019ve called About this photo<\/strong> to draw attention to a few of those memorable photos that may be hiding in a shoebox or on your hard drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wow. To be in Yosemite. What a fantastic gift.<\/p>\n

\nHere’s my favorite photo from this event. My girlfriend is leaning over the rail high up at Glacier Point admiring one of the waterfalls in the valley below.<\/p>\n

We decided to scrap suitcases for these backpacks.<\/center><\/td>\n

All of our belongings had to fit into the backpack including clothes, cooking equipment, tent, etc. Needless to say, they were heavy.

\nWe also made it up to the waterfall.<\/center><\/p>\n

Yes, I look fondly back on our first visit and the photo that I took of my girlfriend. She happens to be my wife since then and we’ve revisited the park several times since 1971.<\/p>\n
