Sequoia - Day 5
We drove out on the newly repaved road to the Crescent Meadow and Log Meadow trailheads. The National Park Service paves some of its trails, both to prevent the trails from washing out and also to make them accessible. The ones that are identified as accessible are so only if Arnold is pushing one's wheelchair, if you ask me. But the Crescent Meadow trail has always been one of my favorites because it has no asphalt sections. It is crushed pine needles all the way.
We took the cut-off to Log Meadow and I went all the way to Tharp's Log. It would take a hardy soul to live in so humble a shelter, even if it was only for summers.
We headed back for lunch at 1:30 and enjoyed hot sandwiches and sweet potato fries for lunch.

6:00 pm - walked to dinner in late afternoon sunshine - clouds were moving down over nearby mountaintops. 7:00 - snow began blowing sideways while we were at dinner. By 7:30 we could see that it was accumulating and we walked back to our room in the dark, through snowfall, hoping that it would still be there in the morning at sunrise so that we could enjoy it in daylight.
