Yosemite 2012

Our recent taste of Yosemite seems to have generated an interest in further exploration next year.

Here's an update on the Pierce Family visit to Yosemite in 2012.

We have made reservations to be in Curry Village cabins the nights of August 22, 23, 24, 2012.

So, if you would like to join us, or if you would merely like to reserve the right to do so, you can do that by making a reservation at Curry Village here:  http://www.yosemitepark.com/accommodations_curryvillage.aspx

We may be in Yosemite the few days prior for back-country hiking, but that is still in the works.  We have submitted for the High Sierra Camp lottery for the nights of August 20 and 21 at May Lake and Sunrise Lake.  Results are expected in January.  You can submit here: http://www.yosemitepark.com/Accommodations_HighSierra_HowtoApply.aspx Mules are available for the high sierra camp.  We are still organizing that, but suggest that if you are interested in the high sierra camp that you enter the lottery.  It's free to enter and you can sort it out later if you get a spot. 

The good news is that Yosemite has a liberal cancelation policy (see below).  This means that you can just make a reservation for Curry Village or a hotel far in advance and, if it does not work out, get your money back as long as you cancel more than 7 days before arrival date.

It appears that Robert and Gertie will join us the nights of August 23 and 24. Perhaps Julie/Richard/John/Meredith/David can join for the other or same nights.

We will develop a daily activity plan which should include hikes to the falls, Tuolomne Meadows, Half Dome, and extensive use of the swimming pool and cocktail lounge.   I'm sure David can just come along and we can squeeze him in somewhere.
