The temperature was pleasant the next morning. It reached a low
of 48 degrees inside my tent -- not too bad. But at 6am, a Native
American started singing, "hey hey! hey hey! da da da da..." Only
for about 5 minutes, but loud enough and just long enough to wake
everyone in Tuolumne Meadows up. We might have tried to go back
to sleep, but everyone else, now fully awake, started preparing
themselves for the day ahead.
After breakfast, we drove over to the May Lake parking area and
hiked to the top of Mount Hoffman.
Afterwards, I fired up the stove and grill and made one of my
patented knife-less meals -- grilled salmon with salsa, corn on
the cob, and instant rice. Yummy.
Tuolumne Meadows Grill at sunset
After dinner I walked through Tuolumne Meadows toward Soda Springs
in search of a sunset photograph. A few other people were also
walking about. Some people were propped up on rocks, drinking
beer and taking in the sunset. Unfortunately, the clouds all but
disappeared and the sunset was rather generic. On the other hand,
puffy clouds covered the eastern sky, and I got a good shot of
the Tuolumne Meadows Grill and the sky above. Still, I wished
I'd gone to the same place I'd been the previous night.
