Day 20
Hike the half-dome at Yosemite. This hike is comparable to the grand canyon. Unfortunately I didn't go all the way up. At this point in the trip I was VERY sick with a cold. It was difficult to breathe, let alone hike. I hiked to the top of the first waterfall on the trail. There was quite a number of us that were too sick to go much further. But in all honesty, I don't feel like I missed much. It would have been neat, but I got to go back, have a shower and do some laundry. Showering was quite the privilege on this trip. Sometimes we'd get to shower 2 days in a row, sometimes we'd go 5-6 days without a shower. It was all whether they were available, which often they weren't.
This night my tent group moved our tent over to a campsite with an older couple in an RV. They were very sweet. Let us use their gas stove!! HOT food! no sandwiches! It was wonderful. :) They talked about their trip to canada, and this great big dam they visited in Revelstoke, BC. :) It was a proud moment for me, peopel who know my small town. We had to move to their site because the rangers told us we had too many people in our site. They came over and offered us a spot on their site. Which was nice. We didn't have to get another one.
