This past weekend Timber, Wookie, and I did a little trip to Yosemite and the surrounding area. We used Mariposa as our basecamp. Since Timber didn't feel like camping we stayed at the Comfort Inn which was a decent hotel, was dog friendly, and had free wifi (bonus). On Friday we hiked the Hites Cove trail which is fairly well known for being a great wildflower trail. It is roughly 22 miles north on Highway 140 going towards Yosemite National Park. We took lots of photos and I wish we had a macro lens for that hike because the flowers were really nice. Lots of varieties to be seen. After the hike we returned to town to get cleaned up and have dinner. While we were in Mariposa we ate at the Pizza Factory which had decent pizza and is a hangout for the locals. We also ate at Happy Diner which has the largest menu selection in the Sierras. They are true to their word, at least from what I've seen thus far. They had good food and the prices were decent. They also had a spot designated for people to charge their portable electronics which I thought was innovative of them. Check them out if you're in Mariposa and are hungry.
