Also, the Wiki has me a bit confused as to when certain people are departing. For instance:

Disneyphile is listed as departing Monday, but Frodo Potter is departing Sunday? Huh?

-and-

Gus Gus is also listed as departing Monday, but Kevy Baby is departing Sunday. Am I missing something about transportation?

Please advise.

Per the other thread:

Thanks for that excellent sifting job.






Woo-Hoo - I can makes out wit de wives once de huzbands go home!

:blush: Oh, gosh. We've just spent way more on this trip than originally planned, and my business has been slow, so we need to cut a few corners where we can for now. But, if everyone's going, please don't feel you have to chip in for us. We won't object, but we're certainly not asking. Thanks for thinking of us - that's amazingly sweet of you all.

Ken is riding back with Kevin on Sunday, and I'm riding back with Susan on Monday. Ken and Kevin couldn't get Monday off, but that doesn't mean we girls can't stay for the fun. :)

FWIW, I voted before I realized I could vote for more than one thing. I would have also voted for the Falls had I been smart enough to read instructions.

But I am easy - I'll go with the flow.

I'm up for anything, but have a strong preference towards shade and water features ;)

edit:

I'd say let's do anything "sunny" in the morning, come back to camp for a break, and switch to something "cool" in the afternoon. Also, if there are things people are likely to do on the way in or the way out, perhaps we should give a preference to those activities which are not conducive to being done on drive days.

I think our days will go more like this (minus the drinking part for some of us):

Wake up.
Stumble around for coffee
Make breakfast
Eat Breakfast
Do dishes
Clean bodies
Make lunch
Go on excursions
Come back to camp
Open wine
Drink wine
Take nap
Start dinner
Make dinner
Eat dinner
Do Dishes
Sit around the campfire BSing
Get drunk
Go to bed.

So let's pretend we want to do the Crystal Caves on Sunday, do we have to pick a time in advance and stop at Lodgepole on our way up? I'm not sure how that will work since we won't be able to communicate with each other via cell phone once we're in the Park (i.e. if we want to do it as a group).

For most of us.

I'm a two-excusion a day man, myself. So there'll be no wine for me on coming back to camp mid-day, and only a brief re-coup before heading off on the afternoon excusion.

Keep in mind, sunset will be close to 8:30-9ish, so there's plenty of time for dinner after the afternoon excursion, with campfire fun to follow once it gets dark near 9:30 pm.

And no, don't pick up Cave tour tickets on the way up. We'll decide on a particular tour (or options) once we're all there ... and someone(s) will pick up the tickets in advance of that.

I assume we will have to go into Lodgepole on a daily basis for (at least) ice.
