This shot was taken in November 2013, the river was drought-low.The shots above were taken three days ago on the sixth of January, 2017, a Thursday.
An epic storm series over this weekend some were calling the Hammer of God threatened Yosemite Valley with flooding and the Park was closed to the public.
Today is Monday and the storm's maybe blown itself out, but there was a whole lotta rain and not much cold, so there may be some epic-type flows recorded.
The road in the top photos is known as Bull Creek Road, mapwise. Burma Road is a popular name, not official.

This is one of the most peaceful places on earth if the tourist crowds are gone. The auto traffic on SS Drive is muted and easy to tune out.
The reach has some great big trout for those who know how.
My older brother Mike and his wife have sold the land and their house on the river and now reside in Merced. Our parents' ashes lie in the quiet reach behind the Crocker-Huffman dam below Merced Falls. Access, should I want to visit, isn't a problem, since I don't feel like visiting. Glooooomy f'n thoughts on an otherwise fine early autumn day.
It's the quietness of the river that I recall. It's a good place to rest in peace, I think.

Day tripping to Yosemite on 140.
The Ferguson fire of this summer did a job here in the canyon.
