Just after midnight, I was woken up by a rather loud bang. My first thought was a shotgun, though it sounded strangely muffled. So I checked around the house, went out to my cul-de-sac looking for dead bodies & such, but found nothing. And there were no police sirens approaching, either. So I went back to bed. I got up at 4 am to get ready for our Yosemite trip, where Steve planned to meet upby wagga - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I led a Sierra Club group of around 20 hikers up to Cloud's Rest, and was very happy to get them on peak without mishap. At the peak, a young lady came bopping up from below. I asked her if she had come from the Valley, and she said "Yes". Then I asked if she was going through to Tenaya, and she said her group was going back to the Valley.
