 Wright first met Ansel Adams at a family gathering at the Wright family vacation home in the Santa Cruz Mountains when Cedric was about 21 and Ansel was about 8 years old . They encountered each other again on a four @-@ week wilderness High Trip in Yosemite National Park , organized by the Sierra Club in 1923 . Nancy Newhall wrote , " On that first High Trip , Ansel found himself drawn to one Cedric Wright , a violinist , who could fiddle by the fire deep into the night and still be among the first up , making a little fire of twigs . . . "
