Lashbear, I am sorry to hear your RV didn't pan out but iSm is right, I really don't think that there is anywhere you can park an RV in the park. Maybe even with a reserved spot. I faintly recall reading this somewhere.

I don't like the canvas tents, either.

LOL But the 'lodge' is just what they call it, it isn't built like your typical lodge. Sort of {to me} like a 'motor lodge'? The biggest rooms are the family rooms but they are very hard to get. They only have 4 of them and they hold about 6 but you could reasonably put down sleeping bags....I'm just saying.

This is really quite exciting!! Do check out the lodging that is available. So far, the least expensive rooms w/a bath are the Curry Village cabins. They are hard to get, too, though.

If the RV is out for Yosemite, is it also out for San Simeon? If so, the sands by the sea motel http://www.sandsmotel.com/ is reasonable. Right next door is the BW Cavalier is nice but a bit more pricey. But, they have nice rooms with fireplaces.....

Do you have AAA?

The Merced the end of March; it is brown {the foliage} because of the snowmelt, I guess.

Spoiler:

The falls....

Spoiler:

The road into the park...it had snowed the night before.

I know, I know, I just thought they should be forewarned.

Is that from this year? Because here is my picture of it from March 15 of this year. March/April is definitely a time of year when the condition can change a lot from year to year.

Spoiler:

All fun though.

If there is cabin renting I call dibs on a porch for sleeping.

The first pictures were from our trip March 30-April 2. I was searching for some photos I have that look quite similar to yours!! I have them all over the place and couldn't figure out how to post them. That happened the first night we were there. Right atop the falls and around them, {the upper Yosemite falls} was snow/ice. It was awesome. And, slowly the river ice melted, I have shots of that too....somewhere.

The second set of pictures are from May 12th or so, Mothers' Day weekend. It most definitely was a different place than just those few weeks prior. I love that, how things can change up.

The cabins look awesome, plenty of room.

When will you boys know when they dates are for sure?
