We left Woodland around 9:00 AM and head for our next stop....Mariposa, CA. We will spend two days so that we can spend one full day in Yosemite.....hoping to see the major waterfalls with water.

| Mariposa Fairgrounds |

| Old machinery at the fairgrounds |
Trip was uneventful, but we did stop in Merced for lunch at the local "in-n-out" burger establishment. Bobby loves their hamburgers and this was Kat & Steve's first time to this fast food resturant. They loved it....however the police officers that sat next to us had the animal fries, Kat will try those next time. The officers were extremely friendly and told us to stay in Marioposa at the fairgrounds vs. going to Oakhurst (we had planned to stay at the elks lodge). Fairgrounds was very nice.....we parked on the lawn in lot 1 (they have 5 lots) but the others are gravel. They had a lot of rain the prior week so the lawn was soft.....left plenty of marks from the wood and tires. However the weather was beautiful when we arrived....in the 80'.

| Mariposa means Butterfly |
 |
| Stamp Mill |
We went into town later in the afternoon...stopped at the visitor center, found out Mariposa mean Butterfly, we then head to toured the local museum....very interesting to see the stamp mill, etc. Afterwards went to the local Riteaid and had ice cream....Kat, Bobby & I had single scoops, but Steve had 3 scoops. It was excellent.

| In love! |
Tomorrow we will leave at 8:30 as we will have a very long day in Yosemite.
