West or Bust Day 14

Sunday, June 14

We left mid-morning for Tuolomne Meadows.

Bye-bye Yosemite Valley

Lovely flowers line the cliffs along the road

The lady to the left of the sign is just hiking in from the valley.  She said it was hot.

Looking back from the other side to half dome

Tuolomne Meadows

We had the best campsite in the campground - #A88 - right by the creek at the end of the road/loop.

The only night we had to put our foodstuffs away in a bear box.

Eating supper

Taken from the other side.  Someone's asleep in the hammock - must be Daddy

Taken from our site

I sat in the creek and caught up on some reading and letter writing.

Looking downstream

After an early supper or was it a late lunch, we drove back to the meadows and hiked around a bit.  Little did I know that a good friend would die around this time in Virginia.  A sad loss.

Since C banged her broken foot in the creek yesterday, I see she is wearing her boot today.

We climbed one of the large domes

Panorama

Other side

Then DH and I hiked to Soda Springs to see what all the fuss was about. Do you see the bubbles?

The campsite in the morning

We were literally, basically on the Pacific Crest Trail.  The hikers walked right by us.

HSC means High Sierra Camp
