I do. I'll bring one up (or at least try to remember to bring it)

Something to think about (found on http://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisi...servations.htm)

ENTRANCE FEES

Part of your entrance and camping fees stay in the park to improve the experience here — repairing roads, campgrounds, trails, picnic areas, and restrooms. Fees have also funded updated exhibits, improved visitor centers, and better naturalist slide programs.

7-day pass for Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and the Hume Lake District of Sequoia National Forest (Giant Sequoia National Monument): $20 per vehicle or $10 per person on foot, bicycle, motorcycle, or bus.

Annual pass for Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and the Hume Lake District of Sequoia National Forest (Giant Sequoia National Monument): $30 admits all passengers in a private vehicle for one year from month of purchase.

Question is, would we/you return within the year? It's tempting to go for the $10 upgrade

[Capt Jack]

meant to last year, never made it out camping since then, so...no thank you. but its not a bad idea I think, if you go alot

[innerSpaceman]

I'm thinking of buying the National Park A.P. (it was $60 last year, not sure what it is now). 3 N.P. visits and it's paid for. I'm pretty sure of two ... and a 3rd and 4th are encouraged by having the AP!

Joshua Tree for one! There should be a Swanking!!!

[Morrigoon]

It's $80 http://store.usgs.gov/pass

[innerSpaceman]

No, that's incorrect Kevy. Possessive of a family name comes after the "s," not before.


When you carve the Rustic Wooden Hammock, please use extra care when it comes to grammar!!





OK, this just in ....

As alluded to above, the Sunday Night Big and Girthy Weenie Roast is largely (no pun intended) going to be a Bring-Your-Own-Weenie affair.

The lone surviving member of Team Where the Rum Has Gone will be supplying a starter selection of weenies, and her adopted Team Discovery Channel will be assisting with side dishes, etc.

BUT ... Exotic Sausages, Romantic Weenies, and Big Black Bulging Dicks are strictly B.Y.O.



Sorry, but 4 teams to cover 8 group meals is not going to work. We have declared Thursday dinner a do-it-yourself and Monday breakfast a leftover extravaganza ... but that still leaves 6 meals for 4 teams.

SO ... Team Discovery Channel will organize the Weenie Roast and get things started with the first round of weenies ... but the meal will be brief and unsatisfying unless other weenies are produced. I understand that Kevy's going to be a little shy in this department this year ... and that leaves it to the rest of us to pick up the slack!

[Morrigoon]

To elaborate on that, we will have enough weenies for everyone, but if you desire something more exotic than turkey dogs, Hebrew Nationals, or chicken-apple sausage, then BYOW.
