As I look at my post yesterday, ome of the pictures seems ot imply that I am wearing a skirt! NOT SO! I had taken off a jacket that I was wearing and tied it around my waiste.
As I have mentioned, I like to take a day at camp rather than driving to the park, etc. Yesterday was that day. I treat myself to a bacon and egg brunch – that is not a major accomplishment but something I don’t do on a regular basis! Laundry was part of my morning as I sat in the office area to get wifi.
As I have noticed with the national parks, there is often a state park adjacent. This is the case for Yosemite. In the camping materials I read about a hike to the Carlon Falls – a 3.8 roundtrip. The trailhead was not hard to find. I started out, appreciating the fact that I was alone on the trail and could enjoy the solitude. However, I must admit I never made it to the Falls. While I negotiated some rough terrain, I realize that here I was alone on the trial, not a sole in sight and no cell service. While I negotiated the trail up to this point, I wondered if it was something I really wanted to do, given the realities. So, before I got to the falls, I turned around – I think a wise decision. As I read about the trial when I finished, it was mentioned that John Muir could not complete it – of course that was before the path was carved out! I guess I was in good company! instead of finishing the trail, I took some time to relax by the river.
Today I am taking a side-trip – to see my cousin in Pebble Beach. I am not sure when Phyllis and I saw each other but I want to connect. Thursday I will be back on the trail to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Stay tuned!
