Hmmmm, I should probably be shot for floating this. But how about a much smaller Swank Camp in .... wait for it .... Yosemite?
During the season when the wonders of the Valley are open and waiting.
At the recent Swank Camp we talked about how Yosemite was impractical for large groups of campers. And it is. Um, it's looking like a much smaller group of campers this year, so though I hate to say it ... it would perhaps be the perfect year to tackle Yosemite on a much smaller Swank scale.
You can only reserve two adjacent campsites in the Valley. They are snapped up within seconds, so the chances of getting even them are slim. But Wolf Creek, just outside the Valley, is a no-reservation campground, with chances reasonable for getting 3 or so adjacent sites on a Thursday arrival.
Yes, I must be out of my mind to suggest this. By now you folks know how I can't get Yosemite Swank Camp out of my system until we have a Yosemite Swank Camp. NA and GC's day trip there to kick off the last Swank Camp and the planned LashPair cabin retreat there that threatens to supplant next Swank Camp do nothing to tamp down my Yosemite fever.
Fewer people are higher on my love list than Lash and Stoat. So it's no reflection on them, and what I'm about to say is of a piddling level in comparison to how happy I am they'll be visiting again ... but I'm beginning to resent an event that's replaced the trip to Japan and threatens to scuttle next year's Swank Camp.
