2007 Swanking ideas - Page 23

This is a respectful suggestion, in light of all the wonderful family birthdays you guys celebrate joyfully:

The only birthdays you control are your own. Whether you choose camping is up to both of you (and I recommend it would be wonderful), but those two seem to be the only ones you have no "obligations" for.

This year is a biggie for me too... and I'm not sure what I'm doing either.

Birthday camping could be fun - but between Coachella in the last week of April and MA either that weekend or the first weekend in May (the two potentials announced) it will be pretty crazy few weeks.

I think that sounds good. Maybe a Friday - Sunday venture? If we leave at the crack of dawn on Friday, we can definitely make it up there and have everything set-up by noon, and then head back down on Sunday afternoon.

That timing sounds perfect!

I also figure that a 2-night camping stay is perfect for first-time campers, or those of us who haven't been in awhile. Although, nothing excludes some folks from staying through to Monday if they want. In fact, return traffic might be a bit better.

We used to do a 4 night trip, M-F. Never been in King's Canyon during a weekend.

I'm leaning towards wanting to go. If anything, we can always do birthday stuff with family a week later when we'd be getting together for Mothers' Day anyway.

But it is a bigger birthday for CP, so it's ultimately up to her.

Here's the group camping info for Sequoia/Kings Canyon:

Easter is April 8th, so I am not available the week before/after (and will probably work my BD).

Ghoulish Delight · 01-09-2007, 11:31 AM

Hmm, it looks like the earliest any of the group sites in Kings Canyon opens in May anyway (Sunset).

So no one else is concerned about when MA is?
