Good Bye Farley
Often when you wander in the Yosemite stores you’ll see books of Farley cartoons by Phil Frank. A few weeks ago Phil announced his retirement from cartooning and subsequently passed away a short time later.
Phil’s books and his cartoons often centered around a bears life in the woods and in particular Yosemite. His comics were true works of genius that brought a smile to our faces and made us laugh in the toughest of times. He is a part of Yosemite that those of us he touched will never forget.
Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

For over 30 years now I've enjoyed hiking, backpacking, fishing, photographing and exploring Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
