Looks like a nice, peaceful campsite. Have fun in Tuolomne Meadows- a good time of year to go there as it will not be too crowded- especially during the week. Safe travels !

Tuolumne Meadows was, as always, a special place. T- shirt weather at 8,800'. On a four mile hike along the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne we encountered no one. The pools were tempting, but a bit too nippy for a dip
Looking west, Unicorn Peak in distance/center.
Sleddog practicing some rock climbing moves....No worries, the photo got rotated clockwise 90 degrees.

Pools like those pictured are why I like to hike with a fly rod. A chance to say Hello to the aquatic neighbors.
Ants
You scared me for a second !
It's tarantula season in the Sierra foothills. I believe this Man in Black to be a male Johnny Cash tarantula, first found near Folsom Prison in 2015. He crossed my path in Mariposa about 4 in the afternoon.
But a really serendipitous discovery was this praying, Praying Mantis, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church memorial grotto near the little town of Tres Pinos, south of Hollister.
The lava grottos at Tres Pinos.

I LOVE Praying Mantis' ! I was on a job a few years ago, where there was a water faucet that we used for hand washing, water bottle filling, etc. There was a Praying Mantis there who would actually look up at you, as if asking for water. I always gave her plenty of water
Sled, I love the Tuolomne pics, as living in Hawaii we have never been there. I know you have been a Yosemite regular for many years, keep it up.
What is it and what is it's notoriety? And no, Howard did not build this, nor is it Philpott's new Air-C Delta commuter.
