2008 Camp Swank

I must have looked wrongly if there are lots of sites. April 18 would be far enough apart from Memorial Day that I might even be able to join for a weekend only. I wouldn't need to worry about Lani's schedule since there is no way she'll be camping when it is as cold as it can be up there in mid-April (the average is about a high of 49 but last April the 15th was a high of 32).

The Valley is not that bad. I would NOT camp in Tuolumne in April. I camped in August one year and it was 29 at night.

According to weather underground that was the high for the valley floor last April 15 (not that I mind). And when I was there a couple of years ago a week after Labor Day we got snowed on (that made coming down off Half Dome in shorts and t-shirts a lot of fun).

Again, that is not the standard, but people probably need to be prepared for the possibility (nothing sadder than a campsite full of people sleeping in their cars with heaters on) of it being pretty cold.
