2008 Camp Swank

[innerSpaceman]

I'm saying DP was apparently misinformed about the proximity of Crane Flat to Yosemite. What's the difference? We have apparently ruled out Yosemite non-reservable campsites as too big a risk for Swank Camp, because we have so many people.


So ... what I'd like to know at some point is whether that will always disqualify Yosemite from being a Swank Camp location. We can't reasonably go there before late May, because too many great places are off-limits due to snow. We can't reasonably go there after August, because the waterfalls which are arguably the park's highlights won't be flowing worth a damn.

SO ... I'd like to know whether the gamble of trying for some consecutive campsites at White Wolf (which is the campground rougly 15 minutes from the edge of the Valley, and 25 minutes from Curry Village Day Parking) will ALWAYS be a Swank Camp non-starter. Because if that's the case, I'm going to try to arrange a much smaller excusion, perhaps at a lodge and not a camp, for me and Gemini Cricket and Cadaverous Pallor (and her hubby and anyone else who's never been) ... perhaps even for this year.



As for the anniversary party ... Gee, I'd like to do that, too. I hate to can-worm open, but arent' there any other June camping weekends possible?

Dude, I was joking.
