Day 26 The Traveling Tinkers

 We left Sequoia to head to our next adventure which was Yosemite National Park. 244 Miles later, we arrived. We did put on quite a few miles looking around the park before we settled in for the night. We stayed at Yosemite Pines campground in Groveland, CA. We set up late as we toured the park first up to Glacier point where we saw Half Dome and Glaciers. Fabulous views of the valley. 







The boys made quick supper. Early to bed, early to rise. We were off touring early.  Yosemite is Spectacular!!! These are just a few of our favorite pics, there are many beautiful areas, and next time we travel here, we will stay right inside the park (even tho reservations are a year in advance), they have rental bikes, beautiful picnic areas, a variety of things for families to do. We saw small hike trails and the rock scaling for the more adventurous. We did meet a couple who did scale a rock that day. Not for me.  There are even those who will scale the rocks and set up hooks to lay on hammocks off the side of the mountain. At night you are able to see lights up on the side of the rocks from where the people are.

The Traveling Tinkers - Lake Michigan as seen from Lake View Inn and Reseaurant

 Ok I did it!  I ate a Pastie. The food of Michigan.  It was great, not quite on my food plan, but....how can you visit Michigan and not try the food?  We stopped at this lovely small restaurant overlooking the great Lake Michigan.  Great service, great ambiance, and the view was spectacular on this particular sunny day.  The photo of the building with the rocks on the side is just an indication of how they use their large rock surplus in every building they construct.  The Lake View Inn is on the Sister Lakes.

The Traveling Tinkers - Blue Ribbon Diner - Wauseon, Ohio

 After our trip through the Shipshe, Ohio Amish community, we stayed at a Best Western. The next day, due to covid, the complimentary breakfast they offered was not to our liking, so we again were in search of a diner.  We came across this location, there were a few cars outside, and saw this sign.  Ok, so not a real good sign right?  But it seemed so patriotic, and I did see a few motorcycles outside, so figured, it must be good. Once inside, we were amazed at how clean and nice it was, the variety of food on the menu, the friendly waitress, and the food was wonderful!    I would definitely put this on my radar if I were traveling that way again. Wonderful food, great waitress!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Ribbon-Diner/221121854963717

The Traveling Tinkers - Rosy's Diner - Escanaba, Michigan

 One of the things we enjoy most on our travels is a great breakfast!  We are especially fond of old diners.  After an evening with our Harvest Host Ramblin Rose in Carney, we headed out for breakfast.  As with the town of Carney, there was not much to select from. Eventually we spotted a corner diner in Escanaba.  Rosy's diner.  What happened after that was so delightful. As we parked the car, we could actually smell the cooking bacon, and knew we were in for a treat.  We found out seat at the counter as the cook was busily whippng up a few meals at once. The special of the day was home made corned beef hash and eggs. How could I pass this up?  We settled in and listened to the joyful banter between the cook/owner, her daughter, and her prep cook.  They made us feel welcome and special.  We chatted about the 4 egg omlette and all the other specialties they proudly serve.  We were informed that Rosy's diner was chose as the #2 winne...
