I had a trip report typed up, but somehow it just disappear into the neverland.
So here is link to the pictures, with a little narrative on Flickr.

It was a good trip,no smoke, mosquitoes, and not many people. Other than having to be aware of water sources I really can't complain.
The route was Mono Meadows Trailhead - up the Buena Vista Trail to Buena Vista Lake then around the loop past Royal Arch Lake to Johnson Lake.
Out past Chilnualna Creek (dry) Turner Meadow (dry) and down Bridalviel Creek (mostly dry). Out at Ostrander Lake trailhead and walk back along
Glacier Point Road to the truck at Mono Meadows Trailhead.

Pictures can be found here

A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Nice photos. Thanks for the link.

Again, too bad you didn't get a better chance to say hi to the guys! But really glad you got that shot of them!

Basilbop copies and pastes his trip reports into a text file as a backup as he works on them. He started doing that after losing a couple... It's a fair amount of work...picking and uploading the pics somewhere and writing stuff up, and putting in the links to the pics, etc... and everyone probably has a lot of other things to do, but it is wonderful when folks carve out some time to post trip reports. Very much appreciated!
