[edit] Coyote

Lately, the coyotes seem to walk the park completely unafraid of man.

[edit] Chamomile

The "Chamomile" in the meadows of Yosemite valley has a beautiful scent, but seems to be a common un-noticed herb, only several inches tall. It grows from Santa Barbara's latitude northward to at least Yosemite's latitude. I identify it when its bud, about 1/4" high, becomes covered with a mass of tiny yellow-colored "dots" each no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. If you crush the bud, it smells like Chamomile tea. Ancheta Wis 21:38, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

I know the plant you are speaking of --- I can visualize it. I'm pretty sure it isn't chamomile though (don't drink it!). Roman Chamomile (the most common sort) looks like little daisies. I'll see if I can dig up what your flower is. --- hike395 22:06, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

Ah, I think I know what it is: Pineapple Weed (Marticaria matricarioides). See photo at [1]. Is that what you mean? It turns out it is drink-able (according to this web site).

Indeed, that is the one I have known since childhood. It has a beautiful smell; an un-remarked treasure of California, also called "Wild Chamomile". Ancheta Wis 00:03, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Backwards Tour

Anybody notice that the whole East/West tour is backward? I mean, the tour is in the correct direction, but the text describing it keeps saying from "West to East with the flow of water", the merced flows westwardly. I'll change it soon unless somebody has an objection. Danny Beardsley 30 June 2005 18:10 (UTC)

Considering that I'm the one who probably made that mistake, I would greatly appreciate the change Claude Muncey 30 June 2005 19:26 (UTC)
