[pct-l] Camping in Tuolumne/Yosemite

[Melanie Clarke]

Dear Guthrie,

The backpacker's campground in Toualame Meadows is wonderful and it's on a
"drop in" basis.  It is in back of a main camping area.  Walk into the
campground and past the showers, bathrooms and it's in back.  Of course
Lyell Canyon has splendid soft meadow camping but make sure to camp 4 miles
before T.M.  You should not have a problem any where near Yosemite
