I started the day at Travertine dispersed. I ended the day at Lower Lee Vining Campground.

Here is a short description of the day:

Soak up fall beauty, stop early score nice campsite
Very pretty driving, nice breakfast, stop early.

Here is a short description of the evening:

Rolled in at 2:30, so I had my pick of the spots even though it's a busy Saturday night. There's a main area, almost a plaza, with a row of nice sites (13, 12, 11, 10) on the river side.

Site 13 is the most private, but tonight there's a busy-looking RV next to it, and I like the look of 12 better. So here I am!

I should note that the creek is much farther away than you'd think from these sites. It's much closer to the sites on the labyrinthine web of roads off the plaza.

Story for today: Can't escape the wildfire smoke.
