Sorry I haven't posted for 3days . We left s.f.at 8 am on the 11 to drive to yosemite park went the back way throu mariposa , real pretty drive in the mountains .we stayed at the yosemite lodge ,nice rooms with the Merced river raging past are patio .the next.morning ( the 12th my birthday ) we got on abus to go to the park . Then we got on a open wagon thing towed by a truck with a park guide who expined the pie and it's history . El capitan is impressive , straight up and we.could see climbers going up. Then to Yosemite fall, bridal veil everyone should see this national park , it is one of the best I've been to . After all the tour's some went hiking and biking we met at 6 for dinner and my birthday party , great time . Very full day . This morning we left and went over tioga pass over 9000 feet to tonapah Nevada for the nite about 250 miles .we all left hotel and went back into the park to get on the pass road . About 4 or 5 miles I found manu pull off road I stopped and he said he ran over something and his motor quit .I asked if it bounced in the air , he said it did so I opened the hood to check the immobilizer went off ,it did had to reset it car started up . We took off and about 1 mile down the road roger was off to side with a trail of oil following him . I stopped asked what happen he said he went over a rock . It put a hole in the oil sump and all the oil blow out . Ken stopped and went back to the gate to have them to call aaa for tow truck . Then Alan stopped to help and went for oil .we stayed with roger an linda till the truck got there , I had to show the driver how to hook it as he never saw a Morgan before got that taken care of an left abbot noon went over the pass which was beauitful big mts snow all over . Got down the mt and got up with ken and he was having clutch trouble and Linda cannon was having gas problems ,we took slow and babies the cars to tonapah .all the problems got sorted out so were good to go tomorrow.
