Yosemite Art and Education Center

When I was growing up, I always remember hearing about the mural that Ruth Dicker painted in Yosemite.  I heard about how she and her husband Ralph stacked the panels in a pickup truck and drive them to Yosemite.  Not a small feat when the painting totals eight feet tall and twenty-four feet wide.  In the summer of 2007, I finally made it to Yosemite Valley and found the painting in the Yosemite Art and Education Center.  They didn't know much about it, but were very excited to learn.  If you are in the valley, you should check it out.  This link talks a little about the Yosemite Art and Education Center and you can even see a little bit of the painting.  The full think looks like this:
