I have been back a week now from backpacking in Yosemite. It was a great time. For the first 4 days of the trip we saw only one other person on the trail Talk about being in a different universe! Then when I get back it is right in the middle of the opposite universe, Sunset & Fairfax in Hollywood. It is totally different there.
The flowers were over 5 feet tall, everything was green, the sky was bright blue, Mars looked like an orange golf ball. I could go on and on about how amazing it was. We did not come across any wildlife though because some of the wildlife was with us. A couple of the boys were really loud, loud enough to scare any wild life away from the area.
The trip was for 5 days and 4 nights. It was about 24 miles long, with some steep climbs on the trip. Those steep climbs really put me under because of the lack of food intake to compensate for the calories I was burning trekking along in the wilderness.
The biggest thrill I got out of the trip was my son and I are planning on having some of our own backpacking trips in the local mountains when it starts to cool off. Even my 7 year old is starting to bug me about taking him along on a short hike to get him adjusted to hiking.
The picture I have posted on my blog is the site of our first night on the trail. We camped right in front of Turner Meadows. It was absolutely beautiful as you see. There was a stream running right in front of our campsite with Turner Meadows right behind us. The meadow was about 3 to 4 inches of water.
