TUOLUMNE MEADOWS. NEMY, NICOLA, HYLA AND PAUL. CYCLING THE SIERRA NEVADA

September 2, 2016
Day 11


Bicycling to Tuolumne Meadows,
Yosemite National Park.


We seemed to all have been looking forward to reaching historic Tuolumne Meadows.
Along with a large drive in campground, here we come across the hiker crowd and culture and counter culture.


By nightfall this campground will be overflowing with hikers. Some we have met have been on the trail for weeks, if not months.
Here the famous Pacific Crest Trail traverses the campground.












If you are carrying your current world on your back, this can be your home for awhile.



"Chopped"
camp edition




With the Meadows and its post office being at the crossroads of not just the notable Pacific Crest Trail,
here what might be in their world, life saving or at least energising re-supply parcels are waiting for their owners.
  
Certainly not making it easier, hiking all or if not part of the Pacific Crest Trail has gained an increasingly larger crowd (this is the touchy word "crowd") after the recent movie
"Wild"





Tomorrow we are onward to the highest mountain pass of our trip. Seen any bike sherpas?
