Yosemite Cabin Information - cross post - Page 16

The 140 is open, but has up to a 15-minute wait time to cross the bridges. I'm thinking this might be our route, simply because I wanna get some pictures and awe over the beauty and power of Nature.

Oh, and we're going to be hanging out in the Valley for a bit before heading up to the cabin. I plan on checking out trail condition info, as well as the "free art classes" that they offer, and can share all of that info with everyone in the evening.

Oh, and I also found the "things to do" guide.

Do they still have a photography class? And a tour of the Awahnee?

If you stop by the Yosemite Lodge lobby, to the right of the front desk is a sort of 'concierge' with information about tours as well as on the wall to the right {if you were to walk down the hall {towards the bathrooms on the left!} it lists their programs for the week.

The Lodge has speakers there sharing interesting topics, usually at 7 p.m. May be too late?

Night time photo classes, too, maybe....

Does anyone have a large griddle they can bring? Unfortunately, the one I use is part of the stove...

Oh... And we have chains. there is no way in hell that they'll actually fit my car; but we have them.

I would get gas before you hit the park. While I believe they do have gas in the park, I bet it's not cheap. But, I could be wrong about that.

MouseWife · 04-10-2009, 06:30 PM

An important thing to remember!!!

The gas in the park is by the Wawona. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

The other place, digging in the memory here, is on the 120 heading out/in Craneflat.

If you are coming in on the 140, there is gas right there in El Portal but the one time we had to buy gas there we surely felt gouged.

So, yes, heed the warning!!! You can burn up a lot of gas cruising around the valley. One way to save is to park down in the valley and take the free shuttle or walk.

Oakhurst, Baby. Top it off.

Yeah, my route is not going to hit even as vast a metropolis as Oakhurst, so we'll just have to pay for gas at the gouge rate in Merced or El Portal.

And, sorry JW, I don't have a large (or any) griddle. If K & T were considering bringing their CampMaster 3000, that would have a good griddle (but then I'm afraid there might be no room for poor SuPeR K! to ride back with them.)

We definitely won't have room for it on this trip. Also, it has to be used outside.

However.... we'll bring both griddle plates, since they're flat. I don't see why they couldn't be placed atop a gas burner, and I'm sure the stove in the cabin will be gas - it looks so in the photos. One is non-stick and one is cast iron, so plan accordingly.

This may have been discussed already (and don't stone me for asking), but does the cabin have internet access? I may have to consult on some work related issues next week.

It's good to be valuable to your employer, but it has its drawbacks.

I think there's internet access in Oakhurst.
