Yosemite Planning

Yosemite at the end of May; Happy Isles  -> Illilouette with overnight camping south of Mount Star King  [5.2 + (1-2.9) miles]. (simlar to this forum suggestion)

Still need to reserve our wilderness permit reservations for the Happy Isle trailheads, and will plan to spend the night before in a backpacker campground.

Plan B is to get a first-come-first-served wilderness permit for Happy Trails to Glacier Point, and take the bus back down from glacier point to the car.

And here is a map showing the worst case scenario for New Orleans if the Morganza Spillway is not opened (original story at NOLA.com)
