3 days ago, I left San francisco for Yosemite national park.
I took a midnight greyhound bus.
I was sleeping deeply, and when I waked up, we were at the somewhere bus station.
Then I asked the other passenger "this is Merced?"
Merced is nearest city to Yosemite, where I was supposed to get off.
He answered "this is Modesto."
Because of my disability of listening in English, I mistook "Modesto" for "Merced".
I got off in a rash moment.
Modesto is a 40 mile western city from Merced.Actually, I didn't know there is a city like that around Merced.
I waited for next bus at Modesto for 5 hours.
At that time, I could take the last Yarts bus, which takes me to Yosemite from Merced.
The bus I took at Modesto, however, was behind a schedule.
When I arrived at Merced, the bus I was supposed to take had left just that time.
If the bus had arrived five minutes earlier, I'd not have miss that.
So I slept at the bus station that night.
And yesterday, I took the earliest Yarts bus in the morning.
Finally, I had got to Yosemite.
I had never seen nature like that.
I'm in Reno now.
The next destination is Seattle via Salt lake city and Portland.

Your reader probably doesn't know what YARTS means.

Combine the last three sentences. It's simpler and more natural sounding.
