Saturday morning - first light is waking me up.

I left Sausalito at 3:30 pm on Friday, and arrived to Oakhurst at 9:30 in the evening after hours of being stuck in terrible traffic. But the nearly full moon offered some light, and I was so ready to get away from all the crowds, that we started the 35 mile drive to Clover Meadows that very nigh. The road was much nicer than I remembered from few weeks ago. I overheard the ranger saying that they have graded it, but maybe what I was remembering as such a dramatic road was actually the road to Iron Mountain TH... We got to the Clover Meadow campground after midnight and had no idea what was where and how to get there, so we just stopped at the very end of the campground and stayed right there. It turned out that it wasn't a real campsite, but it was impossible to tell in the dark, and didn't realy make any difference - I was ready to fall asleep anywhere. I was feeling much better the next morning, and ready to go!
