Ugh, I was watching the Travel Channel and it must have been during the summer when it was super crowded. We are going June 30 through July 3.

And, like iSm said, we will be doing the Mist trail early in the a.m. I do not want to be doing that with anyone more than in my group and a few people that we pass. {right, or pass us?}
About the early concessionaires, isn't that incredible? The owner of the Lodge was in good with the government and helped him to take that 50% from the others {Glacier Point Lodge also, I think?} How the Lodge was the only place either that was allowed to or that would sell liquor.
I bought a couple of books that I haven't had a chance to read {we were there 3/12-15}. One about the women of the Valley and I have to admit, I forget the other one.
But I love the history of it all. I am amazed, with that story from the lodge, that Camp Curry stayed as long as it did. It seems the Currys' did maintain control over it for quite some time. {?}
