Welcome to the Friday Morning Post for February 2nd. We're continuing our virtual trek across the country to some of America's most amazing places. This week, we're visiting Yosemite National Park, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. We're planning a real trip to Yosemite in the spring, so this week's post is special to me. I hope you're as excited as I am to explore this breathtaking destination!

Last week, we visited Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. Thanks for all the kind comments on how beautiful the puzzle was! Times for last week’s puzzle were speedy. The fastest time was 5 minutes 31 seconds, and the average was 9 minutes 10 seconds. My time for the Hot Springs puzzle was 12 minutes 18 seconds.

Bed-and-breakfast owner Rick Atwood agrees to help investigate the theft of a secret chocolate recipe. But the investigation takes a turn when a man with a shady past who wanted to buy the recipe is murdered.

To Rick's chagrin, his daughter Alex launches her own shadow investigation before the crime scene has been cleared. When the official investigation stalls for lack of evidence, and Alex comes up with a new clue, Rick realizes solving a murder is easier than parenting a teenager!
