Never store ANYTHING in your car
Collecting extra camping equipment
To take the worry off of those that are coming in from out of town, like by airplane.
I and hopefully others that see this, will start collecting some extra equipment, obviously it would be a huge hassle to drag a tent, sleeping bags, and other camping items on a plane.
I will be looking for these items at garage sales, and cleaning them up . How does that sound? Even if your not out of town and you need some of this equipment, garage sales in the off season are perfect for this stuff. Let me know if you need help with this. And those that come up with extras and can haul them up there, Please make sure they are cleaned, functioning, and have stakes for the tents.
Great garage sale finds;
tents,
sleeping backs
flashlights
lanterns
Ill start a running list of items available when they become available..first to claim, gets them. If you are local you can pick them up from me, if your flying in, Ill haul it for you. Or someone will. :)

Do You remember the Firefalls
At 9:00 each evening in Camp Curry, the crowd which had gathered for the nightly campfire program, would fall silent. A man would call out to the top of Glacier Point "Let the Fire Fall!", and a faint reply could be heard from the top of the mountain. Then a great bonfire of red fir bark would be pushed evenly over the edge of the cliff, appearing to the onlookers below as a glowing waterfall of sparks and fire.
The spectacle was the Yosemite Firefall, a nightly tradition in Yosemite National Park for some 88 years. I witnessed the Firefall myself as a child and still remember it with uncanny vividness

The last Reunion,,,,,2001
In July 2001 many of us got together in Yosemite for a family reunion. Can you believe it has been that long? That is really bad actually.
I know its early, but if we start planning now for next summer, we can have a really successful Reunion.
Ill be researching all the different lodging available, transportation(flights, rentals etc) , of course you can do this on your own and ad it to the blog too.
Camping is 5 months in advance, may change to 6 months in advance. The Yosemite Lodge is 1 year.
Ill post a date in the near future. Probably early July, so we can take advantage of the river rafting.
Any and all suggestions and advice is ALWAYS welcome. Together we can make lifetime memories
