Those were the days they took their own persian rug to make the floor of their canvas tent, and hauled a live goat with them, which later became a BBQ on a spit over the campfire. I've seen the photos from their early days in Yosemite. They continued the tradition (sans goat) until they were in their 80's and 90's, and all their sons and daughters and grandchildren have visited Yosemite every year since. Great stories and memories.
