Camping Swanking - June 28 - July 3 - Page 5

As well as deciding when, we must also decide where. I'd like to camp within reasonable distance of most of the stuff we'd like to most see and do.

Here's a decent listing of hikes and points-of-interest in Sequoia.

The things that sound most interesting to me are Moro Rock, some Sequoia-filled forests, Tokepah Falls, and maybe a hike up to Alta Peak. Is any of that stuff near Sheep Creek, or should we be looking closer to Lodgepole?

Not really, because now you are looking at Sequoia instead of Kings Canyon

I've done Moro Rock and some of the major Redwood sights on my way out though -since those are rather close to the roadside. I still think Kings Canyon is a better place to make camp, from a lounging perspective.

What happened to the first weekend in May as an option? I think that was the one that worked best for us.

innerSpaceman · 02-04-2007, 01:38 PM

fixed.

And, as of now, Cinco de Mayo weekend is in a three-way tie with two weekends in mid and late June.

Howzabout we let the poll run thru February ... and if there's still no decisive winner ... we'll have a tie-breaker question!!

Is the end of this month ok to set the date, or is that too late for people's fast-filling Springtime calendars?

If it goes into June, and I'm welcome, I might be interested (I have to work one weekend in June but don't know which yet).

I'm reviving this thread because I think we need to plan.

Funny you bring it up, I was just looking at camping stuff at the store Friday.

I'm glad someone revived this. I kept meaning to ... but I don't want to do anything more to jinx my bad leg. I can barely walk again. Planning a camping trip is right out ... but if it's planned by others and turns out to happen, I would very much like to go if I am able.

Yipes. Lemme know when. Luckily, I am one person, and don't require much outside of space for a sleeping bag.

I just have to make sure that this doesn't interfere with other plans and/or school crap.
