Yosemite Backpacking!

For the 4th of July, we went backbacking near Lake Nelson in Yosemite National Park. We did some off trail hiking. It was a lot of work, but we had an awesome time. Thanks Molly and Jared!



Starting out.

Emily and stream. There were lots of streams (and mosquitos) but just one emily!



This is the path we decided to take over the mountain. It turned out to be a lot more difficult than it looks. The top was about 10,600 ft above sea level, according to Molly's altimeter.

The snowy pass was no problem for Emily.

Casey and the brown trout he caught.

Jared with all the fish. We wanted to catch more fish but this was about the limit that we could carry on the stringer.

I have to say, that snowy pass was definitely a problem for me. I thought I was going to throw up.

Wow. Looks like quite a trip. That pass seems pretty intense.

Looks like an excellent trip. I'm impressed by the fish. I don't know if I've every had trout a'la'hobo, does it involve a bean can in any way?

you didn't happen to stuff that fish in a zucchini first, did you?

The hobo cookbook has many recipes. But that fish in a zucchini would have been tasty.
