Here's the deal, and it's mine personally. I won't go to Yosemite again with a newbie that I can't introduce to the Mist Trail and the Fissures/Sentinal Dome hike. These are the most beautiful expeditions in beautiful Yosemite, in my most humble but keen-eyed and Yosemite-experienced opinion.
My impetus for doing Camp Swank in Yosemite is to share the glorious Nature Temple with friends, but in large part to make sure that good friends who have never experienced its wonders get to do so at last.
I really have zero interest in a half-hearted stab at that. So if the stuff that, in my blah blah opinion, is not available ... i could not find it in my heart to go with newbies. Also, since the last time I was there myself was in early Spring when these fantastic elements were off-limits, I have no desire to have my next visit there be under the same too-limited conditions.
Again, that's just me.
But if anybody's up for Yosemite in early June, I'm all for that being this year's Camp Swank.
Otherwise, yeah, I also want to camp in King's Canyon. But won't that be too freaking freezing in April anyway?
