On 30 June, 1864, President Lincoln granted the Yosemite Valley to the state of California for "public use, resort, and recreation," to be held for those purposes "for all time." I mean come on, did you see the pictures I posted from our honeymoon? This is totally cause for celebration; this would be a grimmer world indeed were the Yosemite Valley to be carved up into golf course subdivisions or buried under a reservoir. Plus it's an excuse for me to post this picture again!
