John Muir Trail 2019 (2) Tuolumne to VVR

8/15
7:40出発。トイレの傍でライブレッドを見つけて拾ってしまう。11時ランチ、17:00 Lyell headwaterへ向かう橋を渡り、奥まった場所にテント設営。非常によい場所、しかし、夕食でみりん干しを焼いて食べているとレンジャーが来た。水場から30m離れていないという。使い古されたキャンプサイトだったので、普通は許される場所あり得ない。キャンプ禁止なら立て札作っておけと文句を言っておいた。しかし、仕方ないから夕食後に移動することにした。

We started to hike at 7:40. I found rye bread near the restroom and picked it up. 11:00 Lunch. We crossed the bridge to Lyell headwater and set up a tent in a recessed place at 17:00. It was a very good location, but a ranger came when we are eating dinner (baking mirinboshi --dried fish seasoned with mirin ). He said that our tent was not 30 meter away from the water. I thought it was a frequently used campsite, where usually allowed to pitch a tent. I complained that a ban sign should be indicated if camping was prohibited. However, we decided to move after dinner.



最初の場所、川から離れているし、普通はキャンプ禁止ではないが、だんだんとヨセミテは規制が厳しくなっているようだ。ここに至る上流部の使い古されたキャンプサイトにはキャンプ禁止の表示があった。

The first campsite. It was located enough distance from the river. But Yosemite N.P. seemed to be becoming very strict. The frequently used campsites along the river to this point had prohibit signs.


移動した場所。なかなか良い場所だったけどね。
The second campsite we moved. Very good place.


8/16

7時50出発、Donohue Pass 11:30 ランチ。12時出発、Passの所に昨日のレンジャーがいる。ずっとキャンプしてPermitのチェックをしているという。けっこう仕事が厳しい。どうも昨日はみりん干しの臭いに釣られて現れたようだ。



We started to hike  at 7:50,  Donohue Pass at 11:30. Lunch. We walked to the pass at 12 o'clock, the ranger yesterday we met was at the Pass. He said he had been camping and checking at this pass all the hiker for the permit. His job seemed be be pretty tough. Apparently, he had caught by the smell of mirinboshi, and appeared.


Lyell 最上流部、奥に見えるのはMt.Lyell
The most upstream of Lyell creek, Mt.Lyell is seen in the back


腰のピストルに注意。地位の高いレンジャーのようだ。普通、レンジャーはピストルは携帯していない。以前に常駐していたレンジャーはピストルを携帯していなかった。Donohue Passでのチェックが厳しくなったことを意味する。

Pay attention to the pistol on his waist. It looked like a high-ranking ranger. Normally, rangers do not carry pistols. At least, the ranger did not carry a pistol before. This means that the checks at the Donohue Pass have become stricter.


Rush Creek 上流部 upstream

Island Pass。

Island Passの小さな裸地にテント設営、17時30分。
We pitched our tent on the small bare place of the Island Pass at 17:30.

8時20分出発、Thousand Island Lake 10時半、JMT方面は雪が付いているし、好ましくないので、PCTルートに変更。Agnew Trailを1時間ほど歩いてランチ。今年は花がきれい。

We started to hike at 8:20. Thousand Island Lake at 10:30.We changed to PCT route due to snow on JMT area. Lunch on the Agnew Trail at 11:30. The flowers are beautiful this year.

シカゴから来た日本人に挨拶される。2泊3日のハイキングだった。装備が寒くて眠れなかったとのこと。夜に氷点下になることを知らなかったのだろう。我々はダウンマットに氷点下対応のスリーピングバッグ。一応、Hiking in America Groupを紹介しておいた。

A Japanese greeted us, who came from Chicago. He intended to hike for three days and two nights. He said he couldn't sleep with cold, because of the poor equipment. I thought he probably did not know that it would be below freezing at night. We have sub-zero sleeping bags and down mats. For now, I introduced Hiking in America facebook group.




歩くのが遅いので先に行って貰う。16時半、水場と見晴らしの良いキャンプサイトを見つけたのでテント設営。
Let him go ahead, because we were walking slowly. At 16:30, we found a water fountain and a good campsite, so we pitched a tent.


PCTルート

無理をせずテント設営


8/18 7時20分出発、昨日の日本人ともう一度会う。Agnew Meadowのキャンプサイトを見ると混んでいるようなので、下りなかったようだ。トレイルヘッド9:00、ゴミを捨てる。Reds MeadowのMule Caffe 13時40分。だいぶ遅れてしまったが、ハンバーガーとコーヒーで遅めの昼食とした。

We started to hike at 7:20 and met the Japanese again. He looked down at Agnew Meadow's campsite, he thought it was crowded, and didn't descended. We reached the trailhead at 9:00, dump trash. Mule Caffe at Reds Meadow at 13:40. It was very late, and we had a late lunch with hamburger and coffee.

15時出発、Red Conesへのスイッチバックが長い。登り切って、17時半、テント設営。一応は予定通り。

We departed Reds Meadow at 3pm, long switchbacks to Red Cones. After climbing, we set up a tent at 17:30, as previously planned.



Redsでは買うような物がなかったが、ブドウがあったので、夕食に食べた。ビーフジャーキーを戻した炒め物、玄米焼米と納豆と乾燥野菜、スープがメイン。

We couldn't buy good food except grapes at Reds Meadow, so we ate for dinner. The menu was stir-fried beef jerky, brown rice, natto, dried vegetables and soup.

千恵子が少し睡眠障害。8:30出発、薄い雲が広がっていた。Deer Creek 10:30着。Purple Lake 17:30着。湖の西側のキャンプサイトにテント設営。夕食はみりん干し定食。

Chieko complained about sleep disorder a little. We started to hike at 8:30, thin clouds were spreading. We arrived Deer Creek at 10:30, lunch. Purple Lake at 17:30. We pitched a tent at the campsite on the west side of the lake. Dinner menu was mirinboshi set meal.

8時半出発、10時Lake Virginia、11時半Tully Hall、下りた水場でランチ。シルバーパスを越えようと思ったが、ペースが遅く、Squaw Lake辺りで時間切れ。良いキャンプサイトがなく、Halfmileの地図あった場所まで行く。水場は少し離れていたが、問題ない良い場所だった。16:30テント設営。

We started to hike at 8:30, Lake Virginia at 10:00, Tully Hall at 11:30, lunch at the stream. I thought we would like to cross the Silver Pass, but the pace my wife was slow. We ran out of time around Squaw Lake. There are no good campsites near the lake. I looked for the campsite of the Halfmile's map. The water was a bit far away, but it was a good place. We pitched a tent at 16:30.

8時出発、Silver Pass 9時。フェリー乗り場15時15分着。VVRは17時30分。テントを設営して、シャワーを浴びる。夕食はNew York SteakとApple Pie。Steakの付け合わせのジャガイモが不味い。昨年のクックがベストだった。

We started to hike at 8:00, Silver Pass at 9:00. Arrived at the ferry terminal at 15:15. VVR is 17:30. We pitched a tent and take a shower. Dinner was New York Steak and Apple Pie. The potato with Steak was not good. Last year's cook was the best.
