Yosemite to Sacramento

We awoke to another fine day, didn't get as much sleep as we would have liked, our neighbour rv'rs stayed up late yacking and laughing loudly .
We didn't try to be quiet hooking up to leave.
The descent of the switch-backs went smoothly,traffic was light and it was cooler than the ascent.

As we headed west the skies started turning grey and by the time we hit Sacramento 2 &1/2 hrs later, it was raining. temperature was down to 62, what a change.
Glad we left today, the storm moved in and Yosemite got 1/2 inch of rain and the Glacier Point road was closed for snow!!!

Thanks to our sometimes annoying GPS we found our rv park. wouldn't want to be without the GPS in this city, more freeways and overpasses than Portland!
As soon as we arrived Mickey saw a squirrel next door and got himself into a state. Something about squirrels.
After we set up we drove into Old Sacramento, lots of old buildings on the riverfront. Right next to several freeway entrances so is quite noisy. Seems to be mostly t-shirt and tourist junk stores, not really our kind of thing.

Returned to the trailer for dinner, we had thought of staying longer but the weather is supposed to get warmer and we would like to be somewhere with a nice pool.
