Bob, Connie, and Ray: 8 Nights, 8 Days, (? miles) - Saved Photos
All 3 of us lived at Oxford Hall just off the campus of UC Berkeley where we were going to school. Other than knowing that we camped at least one night near the top of Nevada Falls and that we hiked along the Merced River, the backpacking/hiking route is unknown.
I wrote notes on the back of many of the photos from this trip. Unfortunately, at some point I cut off the edges of photos to better fit them in an album and much of the writing got cut off. With each of the photos below I have included whatever text was left, if any, from the back of the photo and added [in parentheses] probable words.
In most cases, if you click on a photo, a higher resolution photo on which you can zoom in will appear.
