Yosemite

I just thought I would suggest to the monitors like Barton and Will, etc. that we plan a trip to Yosemite a little earlier this year, like before the river gets dry. It's great to be there when the waterfalls are full. I know the story about the meadow being marshy, but others seem to fly there a lot earlier than we usually do. Why not the end of June?

There is considerable more snow fall this year so late MAY be OK. However, I agree with Greg and this event will have better rafting in July than August.

You can help me get off anytime, Barton.

Nah. He said he wanted to see you off. I guess he just likes to watch.

All kidding aside, Barton is right. The real issues are the Monitor meeting and the campground opening. While Wawona can work, it is a pretty poor campground in comparison, and significantly farther from launch. Oh, and it fills up very very fast.

Good luck to all who fly Yosemite. I will likely not be going on the club trip, but intend to sign up as site monitor for a weekend or two.
