Yosemite - America's Diamond In The Rough

Yosemite National Park 
Village Drive
Yosemite, CA 95389
Phone number: (415) 632-5420

Prices: $$$$
What can one say about Yosemite that has not already been said ... majestic, stunning, gorgeous, fantastic, incredible ... the list of adjectives describing our most beautiful National Park is endless so I shall stop there.
The sheer cliffs of Half Dome and El Capitan and the endlessly tall waterfalls like Bridal Veil only add to the awe inspiring beauty of the park. Arrive near sunset like we did in early June and the ranger stations are unmanned, allowing free entry into the park with well over an hour to spare before sunset. to take in the sights. You can also stay for days on end, reserving a spot in one of their numerous campgrounds.






The valley floor is inhabited by wildlife galore, not including the annoying two-legged variety, with open meadows, rushing rivers, and springs that form creeks right before your very eyes. You can relax and enjoy the serenity, hike until you drop, ride bikes along quiet paths, or climb (or fall) thousands of feet on th sheer cliffs that surround the enormous valley.

Beside the enormous and unfathomable splendor of the Grand Canyon, I doubt you will find more impressive natural beauty anywhere else in the World. Yosemite National Park is a national treasure and surely should not be missed.

CombatCritic Was In The House ... and Gives Yosemite National Park 10 Bombs Out Of 10 And A Spot On MY WALL OF FAME .... More Bombs Are Better!

Ten Bombs Equates To:


HOOAH!: "Phonetic spelling of the acronym HUA, which stands for 'Heard Understood Acknowledged.' Originally used by the British in the late 1800's in Afghanistan. More recently adopted by the United States Army to indicate an affirmative or a pleased response." - Urban Dictionary

"The Department of Military Science and Leadership, University of Tennessee claim HOOAH 'refers to or means anything except no' ... Regardless of its meaning ... the term is an expression of high morale, confidence, motivation and spirit." - WarChronicle.com

"The U.S. Air Force stole 'HOOAH' from the Army because we were part of the Army until 1947 and rather than waste a bunch of time coming up with something new and unique like "ROO-YAH" or "HAL-A-LOO-YAH", we said 'screw it, let's go with HOOAH' ... thanks Army ... HOOAH!" - CombatCritic

Salon DiMarco: Hair Today, Spa Tomorrow!


Salon DiMarco: Hair Today, Spa Tomorrow!


This was my first time here after being haircut free for over a year. After 20 years in the Air Force, long hair is not something I am used to.


Corrina ("Carina" means "pretty" in Italian) was very nice and she did a great job with what she had to work with ... my hair. She washed my hair, cut it, and blew it dry, spending about 30 minutes overall ($25 + tip).

The salon is in an old building downtown, occupying a large space two stores wide, with 12 foot ceilings and an old decorative copper ceiling (which could use a paint job by the way). 

Greeted as I walked in, my only complaint being that the nice pair of older ladies were offered tea by the receptionist while I was merely instructed to "have a seat". 

Overall, a nice experience and fair value, I will return, maybe getting a tea next time?
