I guess we should start a new thread on this. I only have Sat/Sun off that week. We can do a 3-4 day trip, and some of us can join for the weekend (me). I have to check on one more thing, and I'll post something.

Last weekend CrazyBob had his flute and harmonica on our hikes.

Rosabella....What a nice report! I would love to do that one day....I did stay one time in one of the tent cabins at Tuolomne meadows and it was quite cozy and comfortable I must say so! I have never heard of the Seven Sacred Pools...looks beautiful to swim in

Nice you had a good trip with your sister...did you get served pancakes at all?

Thanks Madeintahoe! Yeah.... the Seven Sacred Pools were all so beautiful! The trail that led to the general area was beyond Washburn Lake; the pools were just off the trail a bit. The pools had beautiful cascading falls that fed into to the pools themselves, one after another. It was only a few miles from Merced Camp, but we didn't see anyone else and the trail did not show a lot of wear.

The food was amazing at the camps! Each morning we were offered oatmeal, fresh fruit, some type of egg dish, and a side meat... and yes, pancakes. Meals were all served family-style. Dinners were great - soup, green salad, and the main entre's were all creative and delicious, ending with some type of dessert. The sack lunchs included a sandwich, fresh fruit, a juice box, and a couple cookies. the food was all great, but what I enjoyed the most was actually having fresh fruit and vegetables on the trail!
