yosemite - 20090704

People: Manoj NV(mano, psycho), Prasad Hegde (God), Anand Avati, Sriharsha MS and /me

Car: Nissan Altima (hybrid)

Distance: 470miles.

Time: 4:30am on 4th July -> 1:00 am 5th July (~21hrs)

This visit was quite a normal one, and our goal was to just 'see' yosemite national park's beauty, instead of any adventure/hike etc. The park was crowded with cars and people. Sadly the department itself had put controlled fire in few regions, which blurred the view from glacier point.
I drove ~400+ miles. It was quite a lively trip with lot of brainstorming discussions.

Yosemite National Park - camping

Did a camping trip to yosemite with a big gang.

People: Amar, Basavanagowda, Javeen, Karthik, Krishna, MS, Murthy, Prasad, Subhash.

Went to Yosemite valley, did a small hike to vernal falls from happy isle. dropped ipod to water, which fell 30+ft, after hitting rocks many times. camped at heagdon meadow campground.

The worst/best part of the trip happened that night. We did a camp fire, didn't had wood, but begged from others and got some. In night, before sleeping didn't feel the cold because we had fire. But when we slept inside the tent, it was *really* cold. Temperature was around 30-40F, and it was freezing. Most of us didn't sleep properly.

Sunday drove back to home after visiting Hetch Hetchky National park/Dam. It was nice place, quite remote.

mysore - tuxedo 2007

Duration: 14-18th Nov

Me and Gowda left to Mysore as I was invited as Chief guest for Inaugural of Tuxedo-07 @ SJCE, my college. Directly went to betta from mysore as Poo was missing Gow. After inaugurals, had lunch @ southern star, and went to Karanji lake as I had got a new D40 with 18/135 Nikkor lens. Went on boating. Night went to Greens for tea, and Grandpa's for OMR. Next day went to Kaveri Nisargadama with Gow, Poo and NitinRanga. It was a decent trip. Again sat @ Green for lunch+tea. Later went to Jungle daba with JackDaniels. Next day almost stayed at Nitin's place. Left to b'lore on 17th evening. While coming back, had an accident. Went back to mysore as PalguNa came to pick us up. I left to b'lore next day morning, but Gowda stayed back as he had pain.
