Yosemite Trip Report!

The best trails frequently start at the "Danger! Do not go beyond this point!" sign.

That said I wouldn't have opted for taking Muir down from the top of Nevada if there was ice on the ground. That section of trail has several running streams and seeps that cross it so odds are that even without obstruction there would have been lengthy sections of sheet ice on a downhill cliff face.

But any story you survive is a good story (unless it involves rape..or murder of a loved one...or malomars).

If they ran out of food, I wonder who they would have eaten first?

I'm thinking it would have to be Stoat. The rest are Americans all full of preservatives and all that. Lisa would be a good choice though. I mean, she's fallen down so much she practically tenderized herself over the years... I wouldn't eat iSm, not with all the drugs he used to do. I would think it would be like eating a giant Jewish hallucinogenic mushroom... But that could be fun. I'd say Ken, but he's the only pharmacist I know and if he goes then I wouldn't know any. And you can't deprive Vegas of a very good DJ... so I'm thinking it would have to be Stoat.

Wow. This is why my family hates to take me. We tried to go up the Horse Trail once and I was freakin' out over the ice. I pissed and moaned over snowed/iced over trails. I thought for sure we'd fall off. After threats that I would never forgive the Hubster if we lost one of our kids, we turned around.

I am so glad you guys survived. What a challenge.

You guys trudged on and you should be proud of yourselves that you made it.

I am glad to hear you wouldn't do it again. Those steps are scary when just wet!

Like I always say, whatever doesn't kill you has a chance of leaving you horribly maimed and in crippling pain for the rest of your miserable life.
