Back in August, 2011 my 25 year old son was going on a solo adventure to Yosemite. He hesitated bringing any food with him, telling me there was plenty of food available in the valley, and he didn’t want to deal with the bear box situation.

Upon his return from Yosemite, he sent an email with his photos from the trip. I just want to mention here – photo shop was not involved.

“Here are the pictures I took while in Yosemite. At your insisting, I made sure to bring Dinty Moore along with me.”

Tuolomne Meadows don’t look very expansive until you get in them
