Days 71 - 74 (July 1 - 5): Miles 942 - 1018

On Sunday Rian's parents dropped us at the trailhead and we walked the short distance down to the store and camp grounds at Tuolumne. We each had a coffee and and ice cream. I went off to the camp ground to find Gnu after hearing he is camping there. Rian joined up with us later and we decided to stay the night. I phoned Brian and it turned out he had just arrived back in Tuolumne after spending a few days with his girlfriend. So the team was back together again!

We drank some beers and headed up along the creek with a young english couple from Liverpool to try some bouldering on the rocks nearby before heading back to the camp site for some sleep.

Monday through to Wednesday had some tough hiking at times but we also chilled a lot and swam in quite a few of the creeks and lakes. There were some awesome views of the granite landscapes surrounding us.

On Wednesday we reached the 1000 mile mark! I carried a can of Budweiser with me, that I found in a trail angel bear box in Tuolumne, and we drank it at the mark.
