It was done all in one day: 5 hours drive to Yosemite, 5 hours climb, 7 hours descent (my legs were totally gone), and 6 hours drive home. But - I made it, and here are some pictures...

Piedra Blanca : Take hwy 33 North from Ventura, CA, and after half hour of scenic driving you'll end up in a beautiful country - Upper Ojaj. This is one of its the hiking areas: White Stones, Piedra Blanca. I read about it in a book and always wanted to get there. In March 2004 me and my daughter Helen finally made it.. It's a few miles hike, but for me it was well worth it.
