William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
'Yes,' said Mr. Muir yesterday, 'I am going on a little trip through the Yosemite region with the President. He wrote me asking that I should see him through the country, and of course I said I would go. It is only a little trip. You can't see very much of the Sierras[sic] in four days, and you know that's all the President could spare.' Thus Muir, perhaps unwittingly, divulges the secret plan, including the itinerary, of this mountain excursion; however, the news never reached the officials in the Valley, who were preparing an elaborate celebration for the President.
