Blah. You never have to be in garb.
Thats what being a turkey is all about.

I can pull off war visit in mundane clothes. Done it before, I an do it again. I jsut cant tell anyone I know what its all about.
I just say, I wanted my son to see if this a group we'd like to join. See what its all about.

Ah.... war. Brings back memories....

I'm in Yosemite next weekend. Realizing that I have done more planning for this trip than for Yosemite I've decided to equalize things by continuing to not thing about the Yosemite trip while simultaneously ceasing to think about the King's Canyon trip.

What do you plan on doing in Yosemite?

[Alex]

I don't know. I haven't given it any thought.

Wow. We aren't going until end of June/first of July. We know some things for sure that we want to do:

Go down the Merced either in our raft or in a rental.

Enjoy a few of their evening programs.

Eat a Philly Cheesesteak at the Lodge.

Go for a night bikeride.

Do the Mist Trail.

Go up to Glacier Point.

See the giant Sequoias.

Ride the free bus at night.

Go for rides in the early morning to see the valley as it is waking up.

And, before we hit Yosemite, I am hoping to check out the Devil's Postpile, some hot springs, Crowley Lake, and whatever else we can find out that way. {now this area, I need to research...I think that Bodie is actually out of the way.... }

postpile is weird looking. doesnt seem at all natural to me, even after they explained it
totally worth the trip IMO

[MouseWife]

I've seen it before, can't remember its' story. But, this time I want to go on top of it. *gack* the guy who does the shows of CA, did a show on Mammoth and he was on the top. I've seen from the bottom and, yes, it doesn't seem natural.

But, I've seen this somewhere else, I can't quite recall where. It wasn't in a large scale as the Postpile {nor was it even compared} but it looked familiar.

I skipped your list because I really don't want to think about it. I'll get there, settle in, and then decide what to do. I may end up sitting on my ass for four days or I may end up crawling all over the valley. I probably won't go to the lodge if I can avoid it (nothing like a giant hotel next door to ruin the feeling of camping).

Wow, you are my kind of camper. I make few plans. I usually end up doing a LOT, and if I don't - I probably needed to do not-a-lot.
