Lake Vernon in the evening
|
On day6 we went back to Tiltill Valley then Lake Vernon. Near the Tiltill Valley we again saw a rattlesnake that was coiled. Then went back to Lake Vernon.
Somebody was canoeing on the lake. It was impressive they brought it to the lake.
There was a group, all male caucasians, already at 4 pm at the lake and playing and shouting loud. Mr.N wanted to be away from them, so we went to a more south and camped there. It was nice to wash clothes in the lake and dry them.
When we were eating there, those guys started shouting.
“GET OUT OF HERE!!!”
“GET OUT OF HERE!!!”
It seemed like the saw a bear. Sounded like they were scared. Mr.N laughed at them. Because we had a campfire, the bear might be scared to come close to our site.
Then we saw stars and went to bed.

Saw a mother bear with a cub

On the final day we went back to the trailhead. On the way we met a trailcrew
who spends 6 months in the Yosemite area. She mentioned how different
this year in term of snow. She was carrying a big backpacks and hiking
alone to see how the situation in the Virginia canyon area. We told her
that Piute creek had so much water and we couldn’t cross it. She said
that she heard about that. This day was so hot and we saw more than 10
people suffering ascending on the exposed trail. Two people were so
suffering and someone else in the group had two backpacks for the
suffering people. We arrived around 5 pm and spent a night in the
backpacker campground. Then next day stopped by a Mexican restaurant and
headed for the Bay Area. It was a great trip!
