Tuolumne river sat 10/18

So far, I've stuck with trips that don't involve overnight (and I make sure my vehicle is food/scent-free).  Water wheel sounds like it likely needs an overnight to do it right...

Yep but it's well worth it and it's a super easy hike.

So far, I've only seen one bear out that way...it was sprinting across Cherry Lake Road earlier this summer.

Don't know if you will see a bear at WW but they will see you,  we would always camp away from cover and kept a lantern or a fire going and we never had a problem.

If you go PM me I will turn you on to the best campsite I have ever seen, some great fishing spots and some very differant spectacular night time entertainment.

Will do.  Odds are, it'll be next year though.  Season ends in about two weeks right?  Not much time to try to finagle time off work
(which has been stupid-busy lately).  I'm planning to have lots more time off next year though and Yosemite area is high on my must-fish list.

I saw a light weight float tube (7 pounds I think) that looked like it might be packable into some places that aren't major hikes...
