My training in Seattle ended and we fly to San Franciso for our road trip. We rented a car from Airport and head straight to our first destination, Yosemite National Park.
Along Highway 101, we detoured for lunch @ China Chen restaurant in San Jose. They served very good noodle soup.
We continued our journey and passed by Moccasin Reservoir in Tuolumne County.
Stopped by roadside to snap our rented car, Nissan Sentra.

Reached Yosemite Valley through Big Oak Flat entrance just nearly before sunset and have to settle a night here. The entrance fee is $20 per car and is valid for 7 days.
We stayed in a canvas tent cabin @ Curry Village which cost $103/night.
Interestingly, there will be black bear roaming wildly at night. We have to keep food & any items that have a scent in a metal food storage lockers provided. Or else, the bears will break into cars or tents, in search for what they think is food.
We need to use central shower facilities which is 5 mins walk from our tent. It was pitched dark that night. Torchlight is a must if we were to come back. We opt for heated tent but it was freaking cold that night and didn’t have a good sleep. Next morning, found that heater temperature was set to low : (
