Welcome to The Learning Pathway.
Join me on my journey to discover the mechanics of learning through the perspective of a mechanic - an automotive mechanic.
What if we focused on our learning skills as we do our hobbies and jobs?
What if we could get on the road to becoming an expert learner?
One day this spring at Royal Arches Cascade in Yosemite Park.
1250 foot cascading water fall that pulses and glides down the left side of the Royal Arches.
The base of the falls is accessed via a short hike from the Ahwahnee Hotel. Follow the 3rd class climbers trail toward Serentity Crack. Take the first obvious ramp and climb up along the cliff to the falls.
For climbers, the best way to get there is to climb Peruvian Flake (5.10a finger and hand crack) which tops out to the ramp that leads to the falls base.
It is very exciting to stand at the base of the flow with the wind blowing, the noise of the falls and the crashing of the pulsating water. A must do when the water is at peak flow!

This has been a great year for wildflowers. This year the spring rains have been plenty and the tempuratures have been cool. The result has been some great wildflower displays.

How much fun can you have in a driveway? Get out the chalk.
I used the standard driveway chalk that can be purchased at stores such as Walmart or Michaels. The biggest challange is getting the limited colors to seem like a lot of colors.
