2008 Camp Swank

[Not Afraid]

Yes, camping in Yosemite in Summer is like camping at Disneyland in July. (Not a favorite thing of mine - but I don't care for crowds in National parks.)

I will express tentative interest in this. It will ultimately come down to the dates and the cost.

yeah, that pretty much says it. although Ive got a ton of vacation days accrued now, so whatever works out you can pretty much count me in (barring any unforseens of course)

I'll go as long as CaptJack cooks breakfast.

I have the time, I don't know if I'll be able to take the time. My summer is on hold until we know when our software release is going to happen.

ok, but just recall if you would, Katie did the bulk of the work, buying and prep for that.

I stood around playing with the fire, drinking pirate coffee and occasionally flipped over the chorizo.

Well, we're not talking summer. It's got to be Spring or nothing, if you're with Yosemite newbs.

Otherwise, winter and autumn are the next best seasons. Summer is dead last, but also has certain advantages (the only one coming to mind is that I find the Merced warm enough to swim in).


Of the campgrounds outside the Valley, I'd sooner pick Wolf Creek than Crane Flats - because it encourages visits to Tuolumne Meadow as well as Yosemite Valley via its location between the two (but much closer to the Valley).

I hope i can make it this year!

Me and my failing memory...

"Just as long as KatieSue cooks breakfast and CaptJack stands around drinking coffee and flipping things, I'll be in.."

I'm in again. With a new and improved tent, chairs and bbq/griddle. As long as ISM still does the dishes
