Heehee! We'll be the only two posting on here.

I totally hear you! My idea of "roughing it" is staying in a motel instead of a hotel. Or when they don't provide enough towels or free lotions. Even worse, no room service.

My boyfriend is a hard core camper who would, like, skin racoons n' sh*t to survive. The only skin I'll peel off is the one that forms on my cup of hot cocoa. Delivered by room service of course.

Have lots of fun y'all!! Make sure to post if something cool happens- like if grizzlies steal your marshmallows. Or the Blair Witch shows up.

I'll be around too!

Have fun y'all. Maybe next time you can change my mind about camping!

MouseWife · 06-27-2007, 02:44 PM

I'm with you gals.

I was thisclose to joining them, my heart is in all of the fun {and food, I almost bought chorizo today...}, but, well....I almost died when I lost my cabin with a bath in Curry! Now upgraded to Yosemite Lodge. Whew.

You gals might be interested in the next years swanking, I've heard Yosemite being whispered about....

If this is indeed a possibility, I would hope that it is decided early enough to get good lodging...er, for those of us who would rather have four solid walls.

Not 4 star but they have upgraded a lot since I started staying there.

Oh, and as for the campsites, I've never checked for them in Yosemite but I did catch something about it going from 5 to 6 months?? Whatever that means. Just a heads up to whomever might be in the planning seat.

Planning? Feh, we don't do any planning! We just spontaneously get up and go!

If you want us to bring it things up for you, just get them to me today or tomorrow. If it is easier, I work in Costa Mesa (back side of the airport). Call me on my cell.

Which is why this thread is over 1,000 posts long!

According to this site page, there are currently no fire restrictions in the Park. Also according to the information listed, there are no campfire restrictions in Dorst campground even when the fire danger in the Park is rated at SEVERE.

So I think we're cool on the campfire front. We're also good on the parking front, since ... even if NirvanaMan drives up in his own vehicle in the middle of the night ... we will have 9 cars for 10 spaces.

It's a double good thing we kept that "extra" site.

As of today, T-minus 40 hours, all systems are a-go-go!

Dorst shuttles now pre boarding.

Dammit. I can't remember where we put the CamelBak.

And, I'm not looking forward to tearing the closet apart...

OK, I am officially done with work until Tuesday. Chris should be on his way home shortly. I have to clean the house, pack, go grocery shopping, clean the car, and let Calliope sit on my for hours.

I wonder how Susan is doing with the packing?
