Finally, here is the completed update of pictures from Great Basin National Park. We had them all edited, and posted once then accidentally deleted the entire thing.
Right now we are in Truckee, CA camping at an RV park. Cell service, internet connection, and Crown Royal. Life is Good! Got a lot of "stuff" done today (including this blog post) and everything is ready for Yosemite on Sunday. Now we can drive around Truckee and Lake Tahoe tomorrow - a full day's trip.

| Road sign heading up to hike the Glacier Trail, the only glacier left in Nevada |
 |
| Much of this trail was very rocky and unsteady: remnants of the last ice age glacial activity |

| Bristlecone Pine tree. One of the oldest living things in the world (see below) |
 |
| We made it to the end of the trail at over 11,000 feet! Yay! |

| Home at last! |
I am really drooling now. That campsite is great. Love the pictures. Everything is so beautiful. (Including the humans in the pictures) Looks like everybody enjoys it there. How did you ever leave?
