Although, we were quite successful at it last time.

"Guys! ... BEAR!!"

from your description, Im most curious myself :snap:

Ok, so it looks like Katiesue and I will be trying out luck at Yosemite campsites in Lower Pines campground bright and early tomorrow morning.

If there's a third volunteer, with plastic at the ready, please let us know.

Otherwise, heheh, i don't think we need a conference, Katiesue ... just approve my Yahoo friends reply and we can simply I.M. our hearts out.

Oh, but since tonight is Valentines, I won't be home till morning to see if that works. We'll just cross our fingers.

I'm gonna try ressies by both phone and interweb. Think Bonita! (that's willpowered and positive-thinking good luck, especially in the area of reservations.)

If anyone wants to volunteer time manning the phones, I will volunteer my plastic.




Hmm... Let me restate that:

If anyone BESIDES BarTopDancer wants to volunteer time manning the phones, I will volunteer my plastic.

Kevy, why don't you PM me your credit card info. I will only use it for one or two big group dinners, but it might also come in handy if we do manage to snag 4 reasonably close campsites to try for a 5th.



Ok, one last time so the links and information are handy:

Here's the link again to the general reservations info page.

The reservations phone line number is (877) 444-6777.

This is the site for booking Lower Pines sites.

Here's a map of Lower Pines Camground. The best sites, and those that will go most quickly, are the ones on the outer edges of a loop, near the Merced River. From the looks of it, 36, 37, 38 and 39 would be the prime 4 sites.

17, 18, 19, 20 also look good, though farther apart from each other.

So let's try for the 30's group first, then the teens. Otherwise, let's use the campground map for best guesses, and anything nearer the river is likely better.

Arrival date is June 26, 2008 for a six-night stay.


Let's keep in touch by Yahoo IM while the madness is going on. I'm going to keep trying from promptly 7am to after 8. (For some reason, I think there will be better luck on the phone, but I dunno).

I'll try to log onto Yahoo at about 10 of 7.



May The BONITA Be With Us! :iSm:

I will call you with it. I don't think PM would be secure enough.

Didn't I say I was available?

nope, can you I.M. with us tomorrow? 'twould be nice.


Kevy, you can't call me. I'm heading out for a date, won't be back till morning. I will be driving, and after that ... well, i won't have a pen ... if you get my drift.

you can text the info to my cell if you like. that might work. Otherwise, if Lisa is going to join us, we don't really need your plastic (except for the next big group dinner, of course)

And of course, you can always call lisa and interrupt her valentine's with the info.

Just got home - was at an offisite all day. I'll be up and maning my phone/internet starting at 6:30AM - so just IM me and we'll get this baby moving.
