Day 25: Manhattan Beach to Yosemite

It was back to park sprinting after breakfast with Beth in Manhattan Beach. We had a 5-hour drive to Yosemite and eased our way back into sprinter mode after the luxury of Southern California. Thank you Beth for letting us stay at your beautiful home. I appreciate your hospitality, the free use of your laundry and shower facilities (this has become quite a treat for us!) and for the many laughs – it was so great to see you! Upon arriving at Yosemite, all sites were full (the story of our lives when we get a late start!), but we pulled up to the Summerdale state park campground right outside the Yosemite gates just in time to secure the very last spot (fortunately, this has also been the story of our lives on this trip!). We decided to forego racing into the park to see the sites and settled in for an evening of dinner and a Connect 4 Pop-Out tournament.
