Did a brief weekend trip in Yosemite a few weeks back (June 7,8,9). Started at Tuolomne Meadows, up Lyell Canyon to Donohue Pass and then back.
Temps were 80's most of the time with a few light rain/hail storm that lasted about 5 minutes.
Crowds were minimal, mosquitoes were moderate. We were warned it was very muddy...but only found a few muddy spots that were easy to walk around.

Here's a video we did:

Hamster,

Great video. It is a good thing you guys are not affected by whiskey! :)

Cool video TR!

A few things:
1. I about jumped out of my chair at The Joy Formidable
2. All of your music was awesome.
3. You are a nut.

I may attempt a video TR this summer using my LX7 and Pentax K7 though that would chew up a lot of battery over 7 days...

Thanks! :) I'm still really new at camera stuff.
Glad I'm not the only backpacker who likes that kind of music! I try to only use songs that are stuck in my head at the time.
I'm pretty new at camera stuff...This trip I used a gopro and a Canon G15. With all the time lapse shots, I went through 3 gopro batteries for this trip alone! So bring spares for sure.

After watching this, I just cannot wait to get back for another mind-body-soul purification effort in the Sierra; what were you using that whiskey for?
The Bearikade apparently did the trick? Didn't have to share a single drop with those clever beasts, or did you?

Yep I've taken the bearikade on about a dozen trips and it does the trick.
It's lighter than Garcia designs, etc. The only bummer is the edges are kinda sharp and are wearing into my backpack.
