And, of course, my beloved Yosemite at Twin Lakes and Bond Pass.
Nice 6 day trip with the wife from Gianelli TH across The Emigrant to Bond Pass
and back. Ended up doing 3 loops with a bunch of xcountry and took the
wife to a number of places had been to with Z Old Dood or solo or other friends
a few times before. She loved the East Fork Cherry west of Huckleberry
and the North Fork including Lord Meadow ... Lord Meadow area is quite
stunning... and I'm reminded of that every time I go thru there.
I warned her about the abundant horse traffic and cow chances in The Emigrant
and when on trail it didn't disappoint. Somewhat amusing to us on
the way out was a riderless horse running down the trail towards us...
I pretty much screamed for her to get out of the trail!!!
A few minutes later a guy comes running down after it.. "stop that horse".
Uh... yeah, right... I'm going to stand in front of an animal that is
9 zillion times my weight.
Beyond Lake valley we saw very few people. Very enjoyable trip.
Wife ripped her knee along the NF Cherry before Cow Meadow Pie Lake
and she was still easily able to climb out of WF Cherry up to Leopold
xcountry.
