Monday morning we woke up, had breakfast, broke camp, showered, the headed up to Tuolumne Meadows (note - breaking camp and packing up gets you filthy, so shower last!).  Ironically no one had arrived to camp at our first site at Upper Pines, either - we could have spent 2 days at either of the 2 sites without moving.   We stopped at Tuolumne Grove and hike down to see the sequoias. It was pretty a warm hike, and we ran low on water.  No one was terribly impressed.

We got to Tuolumne Meadows campground around 2:45 and got two adjoining sites that backed up to the forest.   Ray, Amy, Annabelle, and Sophie arrived around dinnertime.  Ray drive his new blue truck.  Near the Nevada / California border he filled with back of the truck with firewood for $15, which was great.  Normally firewood costs close to $15 a box in Yosemite.

That night it got REALLY cold.
