Yosemite Valley
September 14, 1996
This should have been the day of our Half Dome hike. But on the previous day we had learned that the weather forecast was really bad. So we stayed in our tent and slept in.
When we got up it was raining. And the weather remained foul for most of the day. So we decided to hang out and save our strength for the following day. Hoping for better hiking conditions. We talked about our experiences during this trip so far, snoozed, checked our lamps and boots and snoozed again. Later I went to the village and had a close look at the forecast. Great, odds were in our favour: no rain, cloudless sky, about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. We crouched into our sleeping bags early this evening to be well rested.
