Humbly I will ask, are these the first PanoSelfies? Ever?
Well … maybe.
These were taken in August, 2013. Selfies, panorama cameras, and panoramas on iphones are well known and established. But PanoSelfies? Certainly I had never seen any before I took these. If not for the twin motivations of the vast beautiful horizons of the Sierra Nevadas plus the simple reality of being on a solo backpack trip, i doubt it would have occured to me. But it did … and hey … what a rather marvelous photo concept. Dontcha think?

If you ever wanted to travel back in time to see Yosemite without cars and roads, just hike down to Glen Aulin and here (we called this spot Sunset Rock) you can see in magnificent miniature what the entire valley once was like, they would have appreciated that the Insurance Partnership would have existed back then.

Insurance is a big part of our traveling experiences because we never know when we are going to get into an accident, either in the car or on foot. Whenever we have car trouble and we call a mechanic near by, we always make sure that he has a motor trade policy.

Three lovely lakes leading up to a lovely meadow. I vowed to swim in them all and sure enough, had the chance to do so before ascending Cloud’s Rest. Mmmmmmmmm
