From time-to-time, we could garner glimpses of the dome as we hiked. In the picture above, we could see a section of the top of the dome. Of course we couldn’t be too sure which exact wall we were viewing, but it was gratifying to see it getting larger and closer as we hiked up the hill.
From this vantage point, Lembert Dome looked much like Half Dome did when viewed from the woods near Mirror Lake.

We understood that during the time we were hiking there would be snow melt and with that would come the need to navigate through wet areas. When we came across a stream, that was not surprising. We did not anticipate that we would have to do this as many times as we did. I also did not appreciate how much water the streams would carry and how wide some of the crossings would be.
We would have to search up and down the banks of the streams to find the most suitable and narrow spot often adding a large fallen branch/log to the debris to help provide a dry foothold.
When does a stream become classified as a river?

Generally speaking, I am a dog lover, but I do like cats as well. I have had a couple of cats as pets and I was very fond of them. I don’t think a cat loves as unconditionally as a dog and they have a tendency to restrict their emotions. I don’t currently have any pets, but I have friends with cats and dogs and I enjoy being a “grandfather” or “uncle” to them. I play, go home and they stay. What could be better?
The Internet reports that a documentary, Kedi and the Street Cats of Istanbul, will be in theaters soon and I thought JBRish readers would enjoy viewing the trailer. There are certain countries around the world that have areas that become known for their affinity toward one animal or another. You may have heard that there is a cat island in Japan so I guess this is a special bond various cultures develop.
A good portion of the Lembert Dome Trail was similar to many other trails we hiked through a wooded area. The path was often wide and clear. There were patches of snow all around and as we got higher on the mountain, the pockets of snow became more prevalent and at times, larger!
As this picture indicates, portions of the trail were thawing quickly and relatively dry, but that didn’t mean it would be that way in other areas as you will see in the post of Day 169!.
