What a Tourist Trap! No it wasn't that bad you can easily get away from all the Winnebagos and obese Americans ( no offence to obese Americans but I was hoping to find inspiration to actually do some exercise and possibly even "hike" which is almost blasphemy in my vocabulary and they burst my dream bubble that only the very fit and worthy can go to Yosemite and fully appreciate the scenery)
We followed piles of mule shit until we found ourselves sort of in the wilderness trying to follow a trail around a lake...which turned out not to be a lake and actually just a fat bit of very cold river that would have to be crossed in order to get back to the civilisation.
