Yo! semite

We spent the fourth of july weekend in Yosemite at Matt's family's cabin with 22 of our closest friends. While we had high hopes of hiking a ton everyday and being in tip top training condition, most of the weekend was spent drinking, eating and swimming. We did do some nice hikes though- Tuolomne to Glen Aulin, and Halfdome. Halfdome kicked my ass, and the cables were utlra terrifying. Matt was a trooper and practically didn't get scared at all. Much of the 16.4 mile halfdome hike is on the JMT, so it was nice because we were getting a little bit of a preview of what is in front of us.

ALSO- I'm in Oregon right now, land of no sales tax, so I bought some cheap mountain house meals and other trail food. We need to get out maildrops out in the next two weeks- all these things that seemed so far away are now right in front of us!
