The say memory is the first thing to go. Here is the annual snow graph. 1995
was one of the highest snowfall years in the last 25

The snow was so deep that between KM South and Toulomne I only saw a handful
of people. There were so few that the backcountry rangers were super
friendly and just happy to have someone to talk to.

And everyone freaks-out about snow. But snow is not the problem. The problem
is water.

This was the trail crossing just past Evolution Meadows. I didn't cross
there, as that would have been fatal. Per the advice of the rangers, I swam
the creek upstream in the meadow where the water was slow, but still deep
enough I had to swim.
