The time for salvaging this year's edition of Swank Camp is growing short.

We are looking at a time frame of late June, early July ... just like last year.

The options are:

Yosemite Valley - 2 sets of double campsites that would not likely be exactly adjacent to each other. But they'd be in Yosemite Valley, Ma Nature's Most Glorious Temple and the place that every Californian must visit or renounce their citizenship.

Yosemite Park, but outside the Valley - the best candidate for this option would be Crane Flat Campground, about an hour's driving distance from Curry Village (the Valley's main day-use parking). It's also about an hour from Tulomne Meadows. This would be an ok location for basic Yosemite exploring, but not real good for the prime attractions and adventures of Yosemite Valley.

King's Canyon - ditching Yosemite altogether, and opting for the reletive calm, serenity of the canyon we day-tripped to during last year's Swank Camp. It's gorgeous, and a future edition of Swank Camp is contemplated for this location. Should we do it this year? (The problems of Swank Camping in Yosemite will not be going away though.)

Angeles Crest - to hell with going to the Sierra's. Let's just pitch tents in the scrappy forest in our own back yard, and hope that more people will join us if we camp so close to home.

Pick now. Camping Ressies need to be made this coming Friday, February 15.
