We spent the better part of our afternoon leisurely strolling along whilst admiring the craftsmanship and history embedded in each structure. Even though it was not possible to go inside any of the cabins or structures, there was still plenty to view and appreciate. You can expect to see the following: Wawona covered bridge, various large metal equipment items used in this time period, covered carriage house, horse barns, horse corrals, Chris Jorgensen Studio, George Anderson Cabin, Tom Hodgdon Cabin, Yosemite transportation Company office (Wells Fargo), Bridget Degnan's Bakery, Acting Superintendent's Office, Powder House (Jail), Blacksmith Shop, Cavalry Office and Ranger patrol cabin. You can find some of these sites listed on The National Register of Historic Places. http://www.undiscovered-yosemite.com/yosemite-pioneer-history.html

On the day we visited they also had horses at the stable (about 20!!!) and we got to see them being fed (they were very friendly). Sadly, notes posted on the building stated that they were closed because of incidents of people stealing the stuff that was inside. So none of the buildings could be entered. You should also visit the Chinese Laundry Building (located down the road from the rest of the historical buildings) where you can learn about the contribution of Chinese immigrants in the development of the area. I definitely learned a lot through the exhibits!! Definitely check this place out if you're heading into (or exiting) Yosemite on the Interstate 41 route!!

The library opens Mon-Friday from 1-6 PM, and from 10-3 on Sat. Closed on Sunday. Check their website in case hours may have changed http://www.mariposalibrary.org/branches.html The staff was very friendly, there are also LOTS of books for sale for .50 and 1 dollar, so stock up while you are here, especially because there is no cell signal anywhere in the Wawona area of the park (unless you are a Verizon customer-we were told, but cannot verify this because we had NO signal at all in the Wawona area and we have ATT and Cricket Wireless. Reading a good book by relaxing in your campsite is a great experience. The library has very good air conditioning, which provided a great respite from the 90+ F heat of the summer, it was a great place to cool off. There are computers for free use and also free wifi. If you are outside of business hours, it is possible to stand outside of the library and still access the free wifi. It may take a few minutes to load, so be patient. You may need to turn on and off your wifi in your phone to reset it so it can detect the network.

The walk took 3.8 miles. Though the hike is relatively short, the steep incline towards the ridge is not for the faint-hearted. Why 4 and not 5? There was graffiti along the rails which was a distraction for visitors. These are writing on a public surface without permission, and is considered vandalism and an eyesore.

For all you Cali history buffs, here's a little story worth telling:…read more Once upon a time a long time ago there were these peeps called, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." Nope-wrong story! Doh! My daughters, Joy & Kris hate the Three Bears Story-just ask them! ANYWAY . . . sorry-I am definitely going off a major tangent . . . Focus! There's this guy named, John Charles Fremont who hung out with Lewis and Clark. All three guys explored from back East all the way to Cali. They were very good buddies who loved to explore and find what's out there beyond the 13 states. In San Diego County outside of Cuyamaca many miles after the sleepy town called, Alpine, you will find the Lewis and Clark Trail . . . with John C. Fremont leaving his mark in tow-literally! Wells Fargo wagons used Lewis and Clark Trail continuously for money and mail deliveries from back East to the Wild, Wild West. Fremont married Jessie Benton, who is the daughter of a prominant MA Senator who funded all Fremont's US explorations. Through Senator Benton's private funding: Well-renown mountain peaks were founded by John C. Fremont's other buddy, Pike who founded Pike's Peak to well-traveled roads which were used as wagon trails in the past are the direct result of John C. Fremont and his good ol' buddies' explorations. Fremont decided to call Cali his home and settled in a little town called Mariposa. Fremont found and owned four huge GOLD mines and settled outside Mariposa near Bear Valley Road and Highway 49. Fremont was always having problems with greedy peeps trying to raid his gold mines in the wee morning hours which vehemenently pissed Fremont off lividly. Fremont was always in Mariposa Court getting countless court injunctions to ward off any greedy peep encroaching on his mine ownership and helping themselves to Fremont's gold mine fortune. While becoming restless mining for gold, continuously fighting protecting his gold mining rights in court in Mariposa, Fremont began exploring WEST and founded a sleepy town called, Fremont CA. Fremont traveled on horseback from Mariposa all the way to these following familiar roads we drive today: El Camino Real, Mission, Foothill, Highway 580, Highway 680, Highway 24, Highway 880, Highway 280, Highway 35, Highway 1, Highway 120, Highway 41, Highway 49, Highway 5, Highway 101, Highway 80 . . . etc.! Fremont used to hang around Mare Island in Vallejo CA which was the first state capital of Cali. Check out the pics I took of the Mare Island Golf Course. That building I took a pic of was built in the mid-1800s. Incidentally, that building is the same building Fremont hung out with Lewis and Clark looking out at the Bay admiring the thousands upon thousands of birds nesting making ear-deafening sounds. Awesome, eh? From all Fremont's explorations, thankless hours were spent where Fremont had a sore bum and ______ from riding his horse everywhere. No wonder John C. Fremont never got Jessie Benton pregnant and Senator Benton stopped funding Fremont's explorations. So sad . . . The END. -30-30-
