Yeah, no services and a lot less trail apples to Toulemne Meadows.  You can 
still stay there, use the bear boxes and pitch a tent.

>>Backpackers willing to rough it can stillget wilderness permits allowing 
them to trek into any of the five camps-- Vogelsang, May Lake, Merced Lake, Glen 
Aulin or Sunrise -- and pitch a tent.However, rangers said hikers are urged 
not to trample fragile, water-soaked meadows, and to cross streams with extra 
caution.``What it means for backpackers is that stream crossings that were easy 
last year will be difficult, and stream crossings that were difficult last 
year are impossible,'' said ranger Adrienne Freeman.<<
