I will be there- come hell or high water- if I have to live on PB&J while there- I will be there!

:D We can do our Hot-Dog-In-A-Thermos-Flask-Trick for you ! Cheap, and stays hot till lunchtime...

This trip, we're going to have Lincoln Thumbs from pinching pennies !! But it's worth it to see all of you.

Oh, and Mark, don't forget to count the LashPair for Dinner too. :cheers:

Is that what the kids are calling it?

LOL !

What th-? Oh, pennies.

bacon alert...bacon alert...bacon alert
 

Let it be known that the first official article of the Lashpair visit has arrived safe and sound. There is, as I type, a case of MRE bacon sitting on my couch.

Hehehehe Stoat says MRE sounds like "Magnetic Resonance Echogram" :D

I guess I'd better get those Yosemite finances in order, eh?

We have to pay for this?;)



We should also start figuring out logistics- such as things to bring (food, drink, extra cooking stuff, etc), or is there a Costco in the vicinity that we can hit after arrival? I am also wondering what time that Monday everyone is planning on showing up- it will take about 17 hours for us to get there, so we'll probably stay in Eugene or thereabouts Sunday night and finish the drive Monday, which will put us there in late afternoon/early evening.

The closest Costco is in Fresno and the closest actual grocery store (Vons and Raleys) are on Oakhurst. I think we need to plan in advance so trips to Oakhurst are few and far between. We could do a Wiki like we did for camping or perhaps just a shared Google document.

How DO we want to do this? Other shared trips we have one "family" or one "team" plan and execute a meal of their choosing. It seems to work, but this is a much larger group.
