I talked with my SIL and they are unsure about coming and not ready to make a "team commitment" so I'm going to stick with the Huevos if that's OK with the man. If they do join us, they will be driving a big ass RV and will be parked somewhat away from us. However, Breakfast is a specialty of my Brother's AND they have a coffee maker in their RV. I already told them they will be making pots and post of coffee.

I also told my SIL there may be tit-sightings (and to pass that along to my Bro as encouragement). I also explained the importance of Bacon and warned them about Kevy's Big Black Dick.

I will do my best to ensure that they experience it via legend only and do endure visual testimony.

And I don't think "big" should be part of the legend. I would hate to be misleading people.

Here's a travel blog with some more info and pictures of Sheep Creek:

http://www.maryjomellado.com/Camping...sequoia_01.htm

(Be sure to check the other "camp" links on the left of the page to view more site photos.)

This includes how to pay/"reserve" your site upon entry. However, sites are now $18 per night, according to the official park site (that info is on the "Key Information" page in the Wiki).

Tip: for those who want to save extra money, try to plan on the maximum of 6 people in your site (maximum of 2 cars) so you only have to pay $3 per person per night. 5 people in a site runs $3.60pp, 4 people at $4.50pp, 3 at $6.00pp, and 2 at $9.00pp. And, sometimes, that extra space is worth the extra money, so it really depends on personal comfort level.

At $18 a night, we can get as many sites as we feel like it. That's CHEAP!

Exactly. People can team up or spread out as they like.

Anyway, I'll add a "Things to Do" page to the Wiki so folks can plan hikes or other activities. I'll find out more about the horseback info and add the hiking trail info too.

I believe if you're over 200 pounds, you'll have to ride a mule. (Not saying that you are or anything, but just a warning note.)

We base the costing of common expenses on an overall average. For example, the total cost for all sites for all nights becomes a lump cost spread evenly over all participants. It is based on an average of four persons per site.

And like NA said, $18 per site per night is dirt cheap.

Then, we need to collect funds prior to going and one person pay for all sites once they get there.

If someone wants to organize that, great.

According to the current tally, we'll have 19 people, which means 5 sites. 5 sites x $18 x 4 nights divided evenly is $18.95 per person for the whole trip.

If persons pay for individual sites on their way in and I know about it (it is recorded), it all works out in the end.

That is, as long as no one has a problem with me handling the accounting.
