Now these girls were told about moonbows by some friends. Moonbows will appear on the night of a full moon in the light of the full moon in the mist of a waterfall.
So off we went. It was a weekend of crazy weather. Rain, wind and hail. Yes, I did say it was June.
We bought our tickets for the full moon night tour and waited for the time to come.
We drove down to the departure point, in the driving rain, you would think we might have figured out the tour might be cancelled.
The tour was cancelled and did not get to see our moonbows.
Fast forward ten years and add another girl and another full moon in Yosemite.
So we all drive back up to Yosemite to see the moonbows. Excitement was in the air. The weather cooperated and the tour was on!
We drove down into the valley, got on the little tram and started talking about how excited we were.
The tour guide turns to us and says:
Are you talking about moonbows?
We all smile and yes, we have been waiting 10 years to see them.
The guide then proceeds to tell us: OH, that is just an urban myth.
Now we had six very sad girls who never saw moonbows.
Those six are now once again five.
We will miss you Miss Paulette Wade and we will never stop hoping to see a moonbow, no matter what that stupid tour guide said.
