Album: Setting out - August 5-6, 2005
Getting ready to get ready to go.

Album: To Thousand Island Lake
We set out in sunshine, got there in time for rain, hearts, a wet dinner, and a blazing fire afterwards.

Album: To McClure Creek
Ok, down (or in this case up) the trail we go. High pass this trip - 11,000 ft. There's a helicopter rescue, but not of one of us.

Album: Up to Evelyn Lake - 10,400 ft and Chill, Dude
A little high, a little breezy, and all ours.

Album: To Merced Lake
Leaving Evelyn, we head past Vogelsang High Sierra Camp and Lake Merced Camp, both closed this season because of the megasnow.

Album: Merced River Camp
We get this water slide theme park with tree-sheltered campground, 50 ft off the trail. Just look around!

Album: Half Dome and Down
Up a quick 2000 ft to the top of Half Dome, explore, come down, eat, stomp down to the Valley. And that's all there is.
