2008 Camp Swank

Yep, the Hodgson location sucks. I had no idea Group campgrounds were allowed to reserve earlier than 5 months out. Um, maybe that's a good idea for next season's Swank Camp. Heheh.

We missed that boat.

Do you guys want to do King's Canyon this year, and Yosemite some other time?

Thing is, the Group sites at Yosemite are simply too far from Yosemite Valley. We'd be in the same boat. It's an enormously popular attraction ... and for good reason. Camping is not going to be as convenient there.

My personal preference would be to let fate decide. Even if we have six people calling and/or clicking on Friday morning, the chances of getting 4 reasonably close together campsites anywhere in Yosemite Valley are slim. So what if we leave it to chance? ... and if we get them, use them. And if not ... well, not?

I had another group camping trip to Yosemite Valley with some different people skuttled because it's just not a place that works for big groups. But the fact remains that too many swankers have never been to Yosemite Valley. That's a tragic sadness.

If that's the case, there are quite a few group campsites in Sequoia/KC too.

Or, we could always do it closer to home this year in the Angeles Forest or some other region if it would help more people attend. Just a thought.
