It was noticeably colder this morning. It got to as low as 42
degrees inside my tent. It probably didn't help that I was just
one person inside a tent built for 4 people.
We got an early start, driving to Tioga Pass and hiking up to
the High Sierra Mine.
We finished around 2pm. I'd told Jean to meet us between 2-3pm,
so that we could hike up to Dana Lake before darkness. Instead
of waiting at Tioga Pass as originally planned, we decided to
drive back to the Tuolumne Meadows Grill. There's only one road,
so we figured we'd see them if they were coming.
We waited and waited. The day grew later and I knew we probably
wouldn't be able to hike Dana Lake. It would have to wait. Clouds
started coming in, as well, and I even felt just a few light sprinkles
around 4pm. Shortly thereafter, Jean, Reza, and Weihaw arrived.
We got some stuff at the store, then headed to the campsite. After
putting away food, we did a short walk along the Lyell fork of
the Tuolumne River.

Dinner consisted of a wonderful curry chicken and rice. Afterwards,
we cleaned up in the darkness and then rested up for the following
day's hike.
