What could have been better for our family with three young boys than spending time in and around Wawona, California within the glorious Yosemite National Park? This is where we built our little cabin and spent over twenty happy, adventure-filled years! We spent every weekend, vacation and all of the holidays exploring the natural beauty surrounding our picturesque cabin. We considered Yosemite to be our back yard; it doesn't get much better than that! Surrounded by so much natural beauty, we were drawn into the day-to-day life of Yosemite National Park; we hiked, skied and even played golf. For our family, such an adventure became even more exciting as we met and befriended the other people who lived in Yosemite; not to mention the animals─ deer, raccoons, coyotes, and the bears who were also our neighbors. In Memoirs of Our Cabin in Yosemite; and Our Backyard Wilderness, the story of our years in the cabin nestled in Yosemite National Park comes to life!
