but early on i was really captivated when he goes to yosemite. it's not his first time, but it's his first time really thinking about staying there and being there. and he looks over yosemite falls, you know, down into the bottom of the valley. and it is the way he worked his way right out to the brink. then watch the water. come, come the stream come out. and he thought about how here it's dying at the edge of this cliff but it's being reborn in the air. and he's seeing the sunlight refracted through the through the. the water beads and finding god and spirituality there and reinventing his own in that moment, seeing, you know, the rebirth of it below. so, you know, that was a moment i really wanted to on because i think you get a lot of john muir right there in that instant and you can feel it in relate to it. and other times, you know, he was kind of considered one of our first hippies. it john muir planet earth the universe that he wrote on his journal so he was definitely sort of had this mysticism and when he was climbing at one point he's

and that all was born out of a trip i had to yosemite national park, that view from inspiration point that did it just so magnificent. i realized i wanted to be there and talk about it and it turns out that muer and his editor, robert underwood johnson. when you get into the muer story, you find out that these two guys came together and i would say arguably maybe the most dynamic writer, editor, duo in u.s. english, you know, literature, they were able to-- johnson as the editor of century magazine able to say to muer, you write me two articles about yosemite valley and the national park you envision. i'm going to publish them in century magazine and take them to washington d.c. and put them on the desk of every congressman. he was skeptical of politics at the time and trusted his editor. sure enough, johnson went down to d.c. and put the stories on the desk and the national park was created. that was the beginning of their problem, really. what they had done, they had created a national park around the state park that abraham lincoln had formed with the valley during the civil war, b

english literature and johnson is the sentry magazine and two articles of yosemite valley and the national park and i'm going to publish a midcentury magazine and take it down to washington, d.c. and put them on the desk ol every congressman and a little skeptical politics at the time but he trusted it andon he did t and sure enough he put those stories on the desks in the national park was created in the beginning of the problem what they had done that created a national park around the state park that abraham liggett had said with the valley during the civil war. it was the beginning of a rich partnership where they would also bringe it back the nationl storage system and create the sierra club and influence theodore roosevelt. this is against the backdrop of industrialization in the civil war up until the beginning of world war i and the voice of the sierra nevada to protect the mountain and the giant sequoias literally getting mowed down the united states had just swept across the country and the 3000-year-old trees were gettinn cut down like no realization that they wouldn't just pop

glad you referenced john muer's story about climbing up to the top of a pine tree in the storm in yosemite and that story was one of the first ones i read when i was getting involved in conservation advocacy and it spoke so much to me of the connection we can all have with the world around us. but here we are in mississippi. can you talk a little about his thousand mile walk to the gulf? >> oh. well, i'm also from virginia, but the thousand mile walk to the gulf was one of the things i read when i was thinking about doing this and i thought, this is incredible. right after the civil war walking through, experiencing nature through florida, you know, and facing alligators and mosquitos and, you know, getting malaria and all kinds of stuff, but in the end, you had all of these amazing experiences and i touched on those and recreated some of those. i decided, i left that out. it's a paragraph in the book and i thought it was going to be, you know, a big thing and it was so moving to me, but in trying to cut that narrative, and clean up what we know, you know, that -- what his vital history wa

national fire service and national parks and without roosevelt a lot of that land, yellowstone, yosemite, on and on wouldn't have been developed. there were peoplehr actively trying to run railroads through these places and one congressman, fellow from the midwest -- he provided a great deal of it. the panamÁ canal which as roosevelt himselfim admitted had it been up to congress done the panamÁ canal, it would have taken 50 years and roosevelt did it in 3. i could just keep on listing. i don't want to get involved, bog down so much in roosevelt's presidency because as interesting it is and he established extraordinary a number of things fighting for the little man, i mean, fighting for the common worker against the corporate -- the sort of evil corporate empires an he was responsible for knocking down a lot of that, forming what would become a lot of unions to fight against corporate abuse. i mean, he did all of this stuff and that's his presidency and to back to your question, people need to know this the because a lot of the good that we have in our society today came directly from tha

you can see some light showers said and some snow activity in the sierra just south of yosemite national park. so possibly some measurable snow there. now we have a change in the weather pattern. this trough will be moving east and then this ridge of high pressure you see here, this will dominating this week and that's going to be heating us up. so expect places like the inland valleys to reach low 90's and not a heat wave. but you can see gradual warm up here. and then thursday looks like to be the peak of the heat. and with this change in the weather pattern, we can expect some fire danger. and here is what it looks like over the next few days. you can see some cloudy skies over by the coast, which is a typical morning clouds and then things clear out in the afternoon. but take a look on monday, tuesday and through wednesday, sunny skies. now wednesday, we're expecting some offshore winds to pop up, but we're not seeing aggressive winds with the fire danger, but with those low 90's and that heat and lower relative humidity, we could see some sparks, but firefighters have been putting t

a cold storm brought several inches of snow to the central sierra, including yosemite national park. video from mono county tourism's facebook page shows snow falling in mammoth lakes yesterday. the county was placed under a winter weather advisory over the weekend. and we got us a nice day to day. temperatures did warm a little bit. you can see the kind of see a little fog showing up just on the other side of salesforce. so the fog is narrow. it's a thin band, which we always talk about. so the inversion is sort of pinched down. and when it's pinched down like that, the air is generally sinking. that's why it pinches down. but when the air sinks, it warms and that's what's happening. so in the inland bay valleys, we're seeing temperatures maybe 3 or 4 degrees warmer than they were today or than they were yesterday, today. and temperatures tomorrow will be a little bit warmer as well. so with that coming our way, we're going to be seeing temperatures by end of the week, middle of the week, probably see temperatures into the mid 90s in the warmest spots. and of course, that triggers a

that's going to probably be to the south around yosemite and maybe score a national park. have now is obviously a high pressure zone getting a little bit of leftover offshore winds giving heating. that's going to wane more. so tomorrow. but as we get into early next week with this guy coming in, here we go. and this is a shot of some rain by monday. it's not a whole lot. we don't need a whole lot. just enough to moisten up the ground may be a reinforcement into tuesday. that's even more modest. but watch the arrows whack there. we see the offshore winds in place post our frontal system. then perhaps maybe by the next weekend might be treated to yet more upstream will see as we get a little closer now. 4 zone forecast today. that's the hot day. 86 per san francisco. that's why the heat advisory is in place to the coast. 70's. this is more like july here. got 88 going on for burlingame. 90 foster city, palo alto, checking in at 94. the numbers continue to climb heading south mid to upper 90's in the south bay, morgan hill, 198 for los gatos east bay shoreline. also looking a

i remember when we first met, when we were living in yosemite being in ah of her adventurous side. >>my name is jenna. everybody called johnny for short and i'm a recruit with the 130 academy for san francisco fire department. city girl, born and raised in san francisco. literally my entire schooling has been right here in the city of san francisco, and so that's part of me and part of my identity, and what keeps me so grounded to the city i was raise d in. my brother is a firefighter and he has been a firefighter many years. he is absolutely-he loves his job and always has tried to bring people along with him. those he loves and that he thinks would be fit for the job. >> i told this lady about this service and about this career path back when she was 22 years old after graduating from usf, i tried to put in her ear, i think you would be incredible at this profession and she said i'll think about it. >> that is always something in my ear, but to be honest, my encounter with the fire department that kind of sparked that interest and the reason as to why i wanted to become a firefighte

the judge and limit the severity of the sanctions he's facing, he runs into this whole thing like yosemitengry that he's cornered. i don't remember another public serial display of anger and aggression from trump in a public forum like this. i think it's because it's about his money, his family's business history. a big portion of his wealth is tied up in new york. he's likely to be exiled from new york. the other reason is he's obviously playing to the maga base in the gop. that's also a political miscalculation, because i don't think he can get elected on the backs of those voters. he needs to be courting moderate and independent voters. i think they look at this display of anger and angst as grotesque. i think it will hurt him in the national election. he's not thinking straight because he's cornered. >> the moderate republicans he needs, many own businesses, pay their taxes, don't exploit the laws or try and claim their hardware stores are double the size or the new wing they put on their business is three times the size that it is. they go by the book when it comes to their businesses
