Tenting overnight in Yosemite

Our canvas tent was equipped with a wood burning stove and four cots. Bears are common visitors to Yosemite campgrounds, so we had to put all of our food and toiletries into bear boxes for the night.

As I was trying to fall asleep, I kept imagining that I had forgotten to remove a small snack or chapstick from our bags, and that a bear claw would suddenly come ripping through the canvas wall of the tent. I'm not normally afraid of bears, but for some reason I was on edge and didn't get much sleep.

Here's the tent:

The girls were delighted that we brought chocolate donuts for breakfast in the tent:

We survived the night. Lol, no bear attacks. ;)
