The other day we went to Yosemite national park. We Had to pay to get in to Yosemite and the lady gave Me and Lydia a form to fill out on our walk to become a junior ranger. We drove to the visitor centre and had a look around . It said in this part of California there are black bears there real name is ursusamericanus. We went for a walk on pothole dome. When we were walking we went a bit of the track to go on an adventure and look for foot prints. We saw some deer foot prints and maybe some mountain lion and bear prints as well. When we were walking mum saw a garter snake go past her foot. A garter snake is not poisonous unlike the rattle snake. We didn't see any rattle snakes because it is to high for them. When we go to death vally we will see some there because it is below sea level. When we finished our walk we went on another 2 hour walk with a ranger called Eric. He talked about the native Americans because the place we were in was Tuolumne meadows witch was a meeting place for the Awahnechee tribe and the Paiute tribe. In the summer they would meet for four months and trade their goods like:acorn flour, pine nuts, and obsidian. To make the acorn flour they would bring them up I little hole somewhere in the valley I am not aloud to tell you exactly were though. Then they leave and wait till the next summer. They went in summer because if they went in the winter they would be in snow. After our walk he singned our paper and we went to the welcome centre and got our badges. When we got our badges we had to swear an oath. Here are some photos.
