2008 Camp Swank

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, it's a gamble alright. I don't expect too many votes for that option, but it's my preference anyway.

The way I see it ... the gamble is not going away. And each and every year brings more crowding, not less, to Yosemite. Oh sure, we could go a little earlier in the Springtime ... but not much. Late May is perhaps the earliest.

And so what if we delay Yosemite Swank Camp for a year, or two or four? Same boat then. Maybe worse. Maybe late May two years from now is just as crowded as late June this year.


Also ... what if this morning a miracle happened and two of us were able to get reservations? Do you think they would have been 4 adjacent campsites?




I'm just sayin'




Anyway, King's Canyon is lovely. I would love to camp there.



But what about next year? Are we really going to venture to the Tetons, and start swank-camping in places that take multiple days to even get to? Or are we going to be facing the Yosemite dilemma sooner or later?



So, i will go against the grain, with the highest risk being most attractive to me, and the lowest risk the least.

White Wolf (the better to eat you with), followed by Sheep Creek (the better to be shorn), followed by Group Camp D (are we all branded on the ass at that one??)
