![]() ![]() A gentleman with the trail name of “Buzz” introduced himself to me. ![]() She explained the rules to me: where not to camp, to not build new fire pits, etc. The park ranger was very friendly and helpful. I headed to the Wilderness Center to pick up my wilderness permit that I reserved 6 months in advance. ![]() It was nice to see so many people enjoying the outdoors, but I was glad I was only going to be there for a couple of hours. Parking lots, campsites, restaurants were all packed. Slept for a bit more until the scenery got interesting as I got closer to the final destination. Switched to the YARTS bus that would take me to Yosemite Valley, the starting point of the JMT. Once on it, I fell asleep right away again, but I made sure to set the alarm on my watch to not miss the stop. Arrived at Bakersfield around 4am and waited a bit to board the Amtrak train to Merced. He was very friendly but it was almost 2am and all I wanted was to rest. A older gentleman sat next to me and kept talking to me non-stop. I was asleep within minutes, but woke up when the bus stopped in downtown LA to pick up more passengers. I got on the bus at Fullerton a bit after midnight, on my way to Bakersfield. I’d been very tired and stressed out from work and trip preparation for the last 2 weeks.
