Tenaya Creek in Backpackers' Campground

View of Tenaya Creek from the Backpackers' Campground in Yosemite. A night of rain flooded the banks and by the time we woke 1/3 of the campsites were already in the creek. The creek here is up to the seat of the picnic table in site 5. I always wondered why some campgrounds felt the need to bolt down picnic tables, as if everyone wants a campground table in their own yard... perhaps this is some additional justification for me.
