Another annual camping trip organized by Bay area mountaineering, this time in Tuolumne meadows, Yosemite. The weather in September can be a little bit unstable, and last time as well as this time the forecast was predicting rain. A few groups of people changed their plans because of that and a few just proceeded with their original plans. Eric and I went with other people in a group for hike to Tuolumne peak, but around noon it started to rain and we decided to turn around and come back without reaching our goal. Since it was early in the afternoon and the weather wasn't ideal for hanging out at the campsite, we drove down to Lee Vining for hot chocolate and cake. The weather was quite nice while we were down from the mountains and we soon met many other people from our group who came for a dry and warm place to stay. Around 5 pm we decided to drive back to our campsite. On the way up the Tioga road we drove into rain and then snow! Many people were leaving the park as we were driving in. The weather caused a few people to have a longer hike/climb than they expected, and one car didn't make it back to the campsite due to snow, but luckily everybody's story had a good ending. The Tuolumne meadow was beautiful the next day in the snow and very quiet for a few hours while the road was still closed. The strong sun managed to melt the snow very fast and we could drive safely home.

Dalsi kazdorocni kempovani organizovane skupinou horolezcu, tentokrat v Yosemitech, Tuolumne meadows. Pocasi v zari muze byt trochu nestabilni a tak posledni rok i tentokrat predpoved pocasi hlasilo dest. Par lidi zmenilo kvuli tomu sve plany a par zustalo u sveho puvodniho planu. Eric a ja jsme sli s dalsimi lidmi ze skupiny na horu Tuolumne, ale kolem poledne zacalo prset a tak jsme se rozhodly se otocit a jit zpet bez dosazeni naseho cile. Jelikoz bylo pomerne brzy odpoledne a pocasi nebylo zrovna idealni na straveni casu v kempu, jeli jsme do Lee Vining na kakao a kolac. Pocaci bylo pomerne pekne kdyz jsme sjeli dolu z hor a za chvili jsme se potakali s dalsimi lidmi ze skupiny, kteri prijeli take za templem a suchem. Kolem 17 hodiny jsme se rozhodli jet zpatky do kempu. Po ceste zpatky nahoru po silnici Tioga jsme vjeli do deste a snehu! Mnoho lidi odjizdelo rychle z parku v dobe, kdy my jsme jeli tam. Pocasi zapricinilo par lidem delsi vylet/vystup nez ocekavali, jedno auto se nedostalo zped do kempu kvuli snehu, ale nastesti kazdeho pribeh skoncil stastnym koncem. Tuolumne meadows byly prekrasne druhy den pod snehem a velice tiche na par hodin, kdy byla silnice uzavrena. Silne slunicko zvladlo rozpustit snih velice rychle a my jsme mohli jet bezpecne domu.
