Day 10: Lyell Canyon
We had 12 downhill/flat trail
miles to get back to the car and figured it would take us about five hours so
we were off by 7am. Becky’s feet had de-swelled overnight enough to get her
blistered toe into her shoe with relative ease, but she knew that as soon as
the heat came up, her feet would puff out again and pinch her poor abused toes
so we walked as fast as we could.
Becky’s goal was to get to the
car in time to get to the Whoa Nellie Deli in Lee Vining by lunch. Mission
accomplished. We walked into the Dog Lake Parking lot a few minutes before
noon, located our car that Andy and Mica had deposited there one week prior,
disrobed and shoved our filthy trail clothes into a garbage bag and headed down
the Tioga Pass Road to Lee Vining where we ordered a cheeseburger and fries and
lobster taquitos from the deli. We’re not entirely sure where the “lobster”
came in to those taquitos, it was more of a refried bean consistency with a
slightly lobster-y flavor, but it tasted good and more importantly, came with a
pile of fresh vegetables so we ate every last bite.
