Here are a few things I learned this trip.
1. Squirrels will chew into your tent even though your tent is empty.
2. Holes left by squirrels leak a lot of water.
3. Ultralight backpacking gear is no longer ultralight when soaking wet.
4. Look behind you before letting a big one rip while on the trail, trust me...
I went up to LYV as required by my permit for the first night. Got out of LYV as soon as possible, I was tired of answering the question from all the Half Domers "where is the water station at?". I went to Morraine Dome and set up camp. I explored Lost Valley and Echo canyon. Saw one bear in Lost Valley. Came back to camp to find a present left by a squirrel, aka hole in tent. Got rained on all night/morining so my down bag, pad, half my clothes, and my tent were soaked. Was going to go out monday but decided to go out Sunday since I would of spent all day drying everything. All in all it was a fun trip.
