um...so like, Ive been out of touch for a couple days.

was anything decided or resolved?

innerSpaceman 02-19-2008 12:06 PM

No, and with all due respect to Disneyphile, I think we should wait on the decisions for a while.

But here's the current status. We are awaiting (are we?) word about the availabilty of a King's Canyon Group Camp. This, btw, is not my preferred modus for camping in King's Canyon.

So .... if we don't reserve the Group Site ... we're basically going to whereever we go without a reservation.

And the choice thus becomes ... Kings Canyon (Sheep Creek campground) and, because that place is less popular, we can go in late June (which would allow Disneyphile to join us). The downside to that, imo, is that we visited many of the King's Canyon highlights during last year's Swank Camp.

The other option is Yosemite (White Wolf campground) earlier in the season, to hopefully find adjacent campsites available before the summer rush. The month of May has a conflict for Disneyphile, as she's going on a 14-day Disney Cruise.


Right now, however, it's all up in the air. And since (apart from the Group Camp option) we have no ability to make any reservations, we don't have to come to a decision right now.

The dates we wanted - June 26-July 1 were not avaliable for group sites. There were sites avaliable earlier in the month. I have no request in any other dates. I can fax one over if we pick alternate dates.

If I recall (and the information is hidden somewhere in this girnormous thread) those dates were picked because Disneyphile had a shooting-schedule conflict in early June.

ZOMG, she is one busy woman. And we love her, so we're gonna wait till things get a bit less frenzied for her before we come to any conclusions.


But it looks to me like we'll be camping on a whim and a prayer. Fix up the Gypsy Carts and Get 'em ready to roll.

:cool:

Capt Jack 02-19-2008 01:47 PM

hmmm...ok.
guess I need to change to a tentative yes depending on the dates selected

katiesue 02-19-2008 01:49 PM

I agree to wait a bit. Worst case we call all pitch tents on my balcony. I've got pine tree's it'll be just like Yosemite ;)

innerSpaceman 02-19-2008 02:01 PM

We can all take turns peeing over the side to simulate the waterfalls!

Visible mojo for this

Has anyone gone back to see if those dates have been freed up? While people reserve dates, they don't always come through with the deposits and their cc's don't always work....

I'm just sayin'....
