Sunday, January 19, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

January 19, 1964
Sunday, 50's, rainy.  Girls and I went to Sunday School and Church.  Marilyn, Clifton, the girls and I rode down through the Indian Reservation to Lakeside to El Capitan and back.  Home in pm.  We went to church at night and ate supper with Marilyn.
Comment:  Touring, triple church Sunday.  El Capitan is in Yosemite National Park and is a spectacular sight:  Here is a picture of it and a link to the website...Mom and Dad liked to drive around and see the sights.  Even back in New York, I remember them loading us all in the car and driving the Catskills in southern Schoharie County, over South Mountain and Mount Pisgah then maybe into Cairo...some pleasant drives....

I have never been to Yosemite btw....Below is a picture of the Mount Pisgah State Forest area in the Northern Catskills a few miles south east of Hubbard Hill through which we used to take many Sunday Drives.  Quite a contrast with Yosemite.....

From Sister Sue: Dear Bro: Yosemite is probably my most favorite place, with the exception of the Red Woods perhaps. Can all be seen in the same near vicinity (Mara Posa Red Woods – I think.) You better plan a trip in the summer. It’s GREAT!!!!
Love - Suz

From Mary Ann: Marna and Dennis took me there many years ago. We will go when we take our road trip; in the fall?

Blog and you must come and visit Yosemite sometime, perhaps in the spring. LU "M"

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
