I really enjoyed that video. Nothing better than opening the door and seeing your pup so happy to see you. Napoleon is so funny…staying under his covers.
We camped every year from 1959 to 1968 in Yosemite. In the early 1960's, they had a real firefall off Glacier Point at night. It was awesome but it was discontinued I believe in 67-68 due to so much traffic coming up from San Joaquin Valley. Yes, they actually pushed burning logs off Glacier Point at night during the summer. Still have photos of it taken by my Dad.
Thank you for sharing Cass, we live so close to Yosemite and haven’t been there in years! You have encouraged me to add that to my must do trip this year. Safe travels and happy camping.
LOL! Thar was one of your great not so great videos. Maryann & I in our younger years have been disappointed a number of times in our travels. Your little excursion brought back a flood of memories. At least you had your best buddy's with you. The story was great though. We loved the video!!! .
NORMALLY, I'd chastise you for eating without sharing, but since that's not possible, I forgive you, lol. Loving brownies, I copied your recipe and will make them soon! Enjoyed the Firefall, even though you were confused about how it happens. I'll have to remember that and put it on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing and keep on having fun! GL
Too bad I didn’t come camp in my little guy mini max near you! I live only 3 hrs away and I just camped there 2 months ago. Yosemite is just magical! This is the best time of year to be there away from major big crowds.
We were in Yosemite on Monday President's day, and I don't believe any firefall happened that night either. It was pretty cloudy most of the day. It even snowed in the valley during the day.
The scenery still looked amazing even though there was no actual waterfall. I had to laugh when you got back to the trailer to an excited Jasper our 4 month old Cockapoo suddenly sprang to his feet and was fixated by the TV and what must have looked like a huge dog too him lol Stay safe, hope you're going to do an intro for the nice new truck 😀
Fire fall is so hard to catch. You literally have to stake a place and hope it hit which it did the other day. But you got to go nd I hope you had fun. That’s my wish some day is to go a watch fire fall. Plus you gave us great tips.
I was there February 18-20, 2022. I successfully saw and captured the firefall on February 19 with my sister and brother-in-law. This was our second attempt. The first one was in 2020 before Covid but California was suffering from severe drought and there was no water flowing. This year, we were lucky. We arrived at the park on February 18. There was plenty of water but low-lying clouds and haze from the controlled burn blocked the sun. But on the second day, February 19, the conditions were perfect! Just a heads-up that getting back to your accommodation after the firefall is the worst part of the experience. Crowds and traffic affected the limited shuttle bus system. Expect at least a couple of hours to get out of the park or get to your campsite or lodge. I hope Yosemite addresses this since firefall is becoming popular. We stayed in one of the heated yurts in Curry Village. Curry Village has nice amenities. The Seven Tents cafeteria and Bar 1899 were open. We celebrated at Bar 1899 with food and beverages after. It was one of the best quick weekend trips I've ever done.
ohh damn you got Tundra. I thought you planned somewhere in June. Glad to see though congratulation. Now i gotta see when did that happened, heading to your gallery.
Did you know that they had a real firefall made with fire? Between 1872 and 1969 at Glacier Pt. is where it happened every summer night. Anybody interested PBS Huell Howser's California Gold on PBS did a show on it.
What a bummer. You just can't count on mother nature, huh? Great video otherwise Cass. Also, I see you new truck there. Are you liking it better than the 4runner?
I'll have a video out on that later. Since it was off season, not bad. I was able to grab a campsite cancellation. But in the summer months, can't even imagine.
I remember seeing the real firefall as a kid (1964) but it wasn't until I was older that I understood they weren't actually setting the "water" waterfalls on fire. Just a bonfire of wooden logs that was pushed over the cliff. Huell Howser did an episode about it's history. th-cam.com/video/eXsA7E21ErQ/w-d-xo.html And although there were crowds, it was nothing compared to the overwhelming crowds that show up every summer these days.
Good effort, Cass! It’s all beautiful just the same. Loving Napoleon’s lion’s roar of a yawn! I bet it was nice and cozy in that Basecamp after 30 degree temps outside!
The best brownie recipe! ✧ www.loveandlemons.com/brownies-recipe/
I see a new vehicle. Welcome to the Tundra family.
Thank you! Loving it so far! More info out on that today
U got the trundra! Yippy!!
I did!! Loving it!
I really enjoyed that video. Nothing better than opening the door and seeing your pup so happy to see you. Napoleon is so funny…staying under his covers.
It's so true!! Yea Napoleon only says hi when he wakes up 😂
Who is happier Cass or Jasper when the door opened!!?? 😍😍😍
Hahah that is a great question!
Wow. I still enjoyed that so much. The lighting was beautiful. And jasper and napoleon are 💕
So true, it was still absolutely beautiful to wander around. Thanks for watching Teresa!
Congrats on the new truck too!
Thank you!!
Thanks for reporting! This season is the first I have heard of firefall. 🔥
Awesome! Such a cool phenomenon
Like the Truck! Can't wait to see the Cabover on it!!
Thanks Dave!! Just a couple more months and I"ll have the truck camper on it
You look so happy and very pretty...Nature sure does agree with you. 💜💜
I agree. She had a big smile and I would too if I was there. Never been there but I’m hoping to go this year.
♥️
Appreciate that, thank you!
Such a tease showing us your Tundra and not talking about it!
That video is out today!

My husband saw the actual firefall when he was a kid. Hot embers were spilled from Glacier Point.
@@jackienaiditch7965 Yep
Interesting!
Really?! That is very interesting that they actually did that!

I love the way you say MOUNTAINS😄
Hahah thank you! It's my upstate NY accent :)
Well that was a great effort even though no water. Your fur babies are so cute!
Thanks Philip!! Appreciate you checking this one out too!
So lovely how you we're so happy to see jasper
♥️ Thanks for watching!
Beautiful area - thanks for the video Cass. Jasper is such a great dog!
Thanks Dan! Appreciate you watching!
Great video, Cass.
Thanks Jason, appreciate you watching!
Great video… you and Jasper remind me so much of Jack and I.. love it, take care Susan from Australia
Love that, give Jack a good belly rub from us!
Something for the bucket list. Hope you have better luck another trip.
Thank you!
Glad to see you back... and good for you to take on the firefall
Thanks Sherry!! Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the 411 on the Firefall. It's been on my list for some time, and just as I thought, requires a lot of devotion. Nice job again!
Thank you very much! Glad it was helpful!
Nice to know it is not just me that goes to see something and misses it! At least you enjoyed the trip.
Nope, happens to me all the time!
Thanks for sharing this video,very interesting ,.
Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Mark!
Awesome video Cass. Thank you
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Love the park in the winter, my BC16 was perfectly warm and comfy there last year for the event. Those in tents I can’t imagine how cold it must be!
Love that you took your 16 there!
Cool. Safe Travels. Cheers!!
Thanks Ed!
Great video! More info on your Tundra please!
Video is out today with all that! Thanks for checking this video out Steve!
Sorry to hear that no water was flowing down. But it is great just to be out there I think! Thanks for the info.
It absolutely was great to be there. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing Cass, we live so close to Yosemite and haven’t been there in years! You have encouraged me to add that to my must do trip this year. Safe travels and happy camping.
So glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy it when you go!
Still a great adventure Cass. Thanks for introducing me to something else I didn't know existed. Better luck next time eh?! Love your posts!
Let's hope so! Now I know to plan during winters with a high snow fall.
Thanks for the great video tips! Jasper was SO happy to see you again! Too bad no firefall this time.
So glad you enjoyed it Leo!
Love edibles !! Brownies are the best
These ones weren't edibles, just straight brownies. That's the only way I could eat an entire bag of them while waiting for the sunset haha!
Hi from Tennessee. Thanks for sharing your journey. Looked like a beautiful area.
Thanks for watching Patricia!
LOL! Thar was one of your great not so great videos. Maryann & I in our younger years have been disappointed a number of times in our travels. Your little excursion brought back a flood of memories. At least you had your best buddy's with you. The story was great though. We loved the video!!! .
So glad it brought back memories! Travel definitely does not always work out as planned, that's for sure
10:27 "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" SORRY, I couldn't resist. Hehehe
Hahaha!
NORMALLY, I'd chastise you for eating without sharing, but since that's not possible, I forgive you, lol. Loving brownies, I copied your recipe and will make them soon! Enjoyed the Firefall, even though you were confused about how it happens. I'll have to remember that and put it on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing and keep on having fun! GL
I hope you enjoy them when you make them! They are the best right out of the oven!
Wow! I live in CA; been to Yosemite a few times; and never heard of the Firefall. 😆
Too funny!
Too bad I didn’t come camp in my little guy mini max near you! I live only 3 hrs away and I just camped there 2 months ago. Yosemite is just magical! This is the best time of year to be there away from major big crowds.
Too funny! It was amazing how quiet it was
We were in Yosemite on Monday President's day, and I don't believe any firefall happened that night either. It was pretty cloudy most of the day. It even snowed in the valley during the day.
Oh wow, nice that you got snow. It was over 60 every day when I was there. Would have loved to see snow fall in the valley.
Hey Cass, Even a "dud" event still leaves a good trip and that is what matters most. Thanks for the video. Until next time... Travel Safe.
Absolutely agree with that!
The scenery still looked amazing even though there was no actual waterfall. I had to laugh when you got back to the trailer to an excited Jasper our 4 month old Cockapoo suddenly sprang to his feet and was fixated by the TV and what must have looked like a huge dog too him lol

Haha love that!! Appreciate you watching Richard!
Goodnight El Capitan

Definitely had fun in the process and it was nice to see. Good way to look at it too, since it is so rare

Video out on that today!!
@@TailsofWanderlust Yup saw it right then, great move. For some reason your content always clear my head, truly admire it. thank you
I truly appreciate that, thank you!

I had no idea they did that!
Thats a bummer you didn't get to see it. I was there several years ago and even Yosemite Falls was dry.
Oh wow, that's incredible that it was completely dry
When did you get your truck
About a month ago now. New video out on that today!
What a bummer. You just can't count on mother nature, huh? Great video otherwise Cass. Also, I see you new truck there. Are you liking it better than the 4runner?
I don't know if I'd say better, but I am loving the Tundra. New video out on it today. It tows a lot better, but I sure did love my 4Runner
So cute
Thanks for watching!
I have always wanted to see Yosemite. How bad was the camp site reservation process? Thanks!
I'll have a video out on that later. Since it was off season, not bad. I was able to grab a campsite cancellation. But in the summer months, can't even imagine.

I had no idea they did that previously. I will definitely be checking that out, thank you!
✌️
Hey Spud Man!
That's to bad. Still a informative video
Glad to hear it was informative, thanks for watching!
Has anyone ever said you look like Nancy Allen? 🤔
Haven't heard that one before!
Good effort, Cass! It’s all beautiful just the same. Loving Napoleon’s lion’s roar of a yawn! I bet it was nice and cozy in that Basecamp after 30 degree temps outside!
Hahaha I haven't heard his yawn compared to that yet, love it!
