Mile 942.5 to 962.5 : Tuolumne Meadows to Matterhorn Trail Junction
Mileage : 20
After too many days siteseeing in Yosemite, was back on the trail heading north toward Canada. The intention was to get an early start and make some miles. This didn't happen unfortunately. Several of.us still needed to sort out bounceboxes, myself included, but for some reason or other the Post Office, which was just one corner of the small Tuolumne story, didn't open til noon. By half past midday though we were finally on the move on our way to Canada.
For most of the day i hiked on and off with HoopDreams and Shady Acres, who had recently got back on trail after taking 11 days off. He looked fresh and healthy, i was jealous. For the first half of the day there were tourists and day hikers everywhere, but after a strategic trail junction, they all but disappeared. Somehow we managed 20 miles even with our late start, but by the time we stopped it was dark.
Hey Pad
ReplyDeletelove the way you can casually write you 'were finally on the move to CANADA' pretty awesome!!!
Bet you weren't jealous of HD and SA for long. I reckon their fresh aromas of deodorant etc would soon be replaced by the all too familiar PCT pong.
