After our three weeks in the High Sierra Mary and I went to the ocean for a bit. Then we went up to Tuolumne for a few days. After that it was back down to the Valley to meet Mark for a go at the big stone. It was too hot and we bailed on both the NA and Zodiac. So it was back up to Tuolumne with a new plan to hook up with Rainsford and do the Harding Route on Conness. Great ending to a really long trip.
