Memory is the second thing to go, but I don't remember the first.

 Man, I don't remember that year from another up
 there.
 
 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.
