[pct-l] Yosemite

[themtgoat at yahoo.com (The Mountain Goat)]

The Sierras have a heavy snow pack this year.. some areas
around 150% of normal. Tioga Pass is supposed to be open on
the weekend of July 4th. I sugguest that if you go in the
3rd week of June, your going to be in for a lot of Snow.

I myself should be going thru-Yosmeity near Tuolumne
meadows the July 4th Weekend. And am hoping that the store
is open then, so I can pick up my resupply package.

If you can you may want to delay your trip for 3 weeks, or
you could stay in the lower elevations of Yosemity.

I have had several backpacks in Yosmity over the years, but
not familiar with the camping or other accomidations, I
leave that to the other knowledgeable people on the list...

[pct-l] Yosemite 3 Day

My wife and I are from Pensacola, Fla. and will be
traveling to San Fran on June 18. We plan to rent a car and
drive to Yosemite on the morning of June 19.   While we
have done quite of bit of back country hiking on the AT, we
have never hiked in Yosemite. Although we have purchased a
guidebook and attempted glean some useful information from
the folks at the Yosemite Wilderness Center we are still at
a loss as to where we should go for this 4-day, 3-night
trip.  I envision spending the 19th at a backpacker's
campground, spending the 20th and 21st on the trail and
leaving on the afternoon/evening of the 22nd.  Any
suggestions from those who are familiar with the area would
be greatly appreciated.
