2008 Camp Swank - Page 30

There is no deposit or anything for the group sites and they don't take a credit card or anything to hold. I guess it's possible to cancel at the last day but that's kind of suckish if another group had wanted that date and couldn't go and then we bag at the last day.

There are also medium group sites (which we technically probably would be) but they are first come first serve as well. Those could be scouted by the first comers as well.

That's a good idea.

Hmm... yeah okay, sounds like there's a lot of backup there.

Is it June yet?

3 months is a long time to wait.... I need a vacation!

Why can I suddenly picture iSm on someone's shoulders, bopping them on the head with his walking stick?

First, I have to ask Who's Poochie, before I can ask Where's Poochie?

OMG, Time Machine is such a great idea though. We can go back and prevent Stupid Boy from breaking his back at Bridalveil, but pre-arrange to have him put in foster care when he's taken away from his demented parents.

Then we can huff and puff our way to the top of Death Falls, prevent the fall from the top of the falls, and rechristen the place "Upper Yosemite Falls."

We can also bring blankets to the top of Sentinal Dome for the most amazing meteor shower I have ever seen, so we can stay up there all night long.

Oh, and Happy Isles before the fire!

Ooooooh, and the Glacier Point FireFall ... which I've never seen with my own eyes.

OMG, that's just for starters at Yosemite!

What other Time Machine Camping can we do????

Morrigoon · 03-06-2008, 02:50 PM

Heh, nice Simpson's reference there, GC

Did I mention I wish it was time for the trip already?

innerSpaceman · 03-06-2008, 03:17 PM

D'uh, thanks Morrigoon. I'm lost on Simpsons references without zapppop being my constant companion. (He can spreak for days in Simpsonese, and would be the one to take along on any trip to Springfield.)

UPDATE:
Teresa is updating the Wiki that we used last year with this year's Kings Canyon Swank Camp information. Tonight, when I get home, I will start a new thread to be used specifically for the Kings Canyon Swank Camp trip June 5-9 and include a link to the Wiki. All information, sign-ups, spefcifics etc will be on the Wiki, but we can use the new thread to discuss specifics and answer questions.

I have never been to Yosemite. I won't be going this year. I will be going up to King's Canyon (I think that is what the final decision is) on Thursday, June 5. I believe that I will be seeing NA and € and possibly others on that day.
