I was at the tree lighting ceremony and it was an incredible experience. Hope to get tickets again this year. The performers were amazing and it was very moving when the tree was lit. My son looooooved the trains around the tree.

I remember when I worked in Yosemite the bears liked Toyota forunners. They were so popular back in the late 1980's, the bears even knew how to open the camper shells on them.
