Yosemite, 1963

An 11-year-old Doug with a Yosemite T-shirt on Brian has a map of Yosemite Valley on the wall of his living room. Steven and I were talking about Yosemite on Friday evening, so I thought I ought to scan and post this photo of me from 1963.

Awesome photo of a 1963 firefall (thumbnail)
For four years (1960 - 1963), our family would take a two-week vacation trip in August, and stay in the tent ("Housekeeping") cabins in the Valley floor. They were still doing the FireFall in those days; an awesome sight.

PS, Several of the readers' contributions bring back memories for me. If you haven't time to read them all, do at least read Stephen Price's lyrical description of those times.
