[pct-l] Sierra reports from bloggers

[James Vesely]

Drove through Tioga Pass on Friday and at the entrance station on the east side (10k ft) ground almost 95% covered (1-3 ft ?)  and the lakes were still frozen.   At Tuolumne Meadows no snow in the meadows north of 41 but large patches in the trees 1-2 feet deep 50-80% covered.     

The rivers in the valley were flowing pretty good (peak flow) so I think the snow is melting very rapidly and another heat wave is on forecast for next week. 

The Tuolumne campground is not scheduled to open until July 10 because I think they are doing maintenance in the campground.  Not sure if this is going to affect the store/post office opening as well.

Greetings:

I am heading to Kennedy Meadows Friday and was wondering if anyone has read a PCT blog of someone currently in the Sierras?

I saw Ted's report which was helpful - Thanks! - and am looking for more details of the coming week.

Andrea
