Perhaps you'd like to flood Yosemite valley? Terrible thing natural
beauty.
We sure don't need it.


I just got back from there. They don't have enough water to flood much
of anything. It has all been stolen by San Francisco and the Central
Valley. The big waterfalls you always hear about look like a kid
****ing off a bridge.

We hiked 5 miles and 1000 vertical feet for this spectacular waterfall

This one was on the horseshoe road, Also supposed to be spectacular

SF steals the water after the valley or north of the valley. This time of
year the falls are always small. Unlike Florida, we get very little rain
during the summer. Some thunder storms in the mountains, but little
precipitation. Come in May for a spectacular view.
