Sounds like a blast!

Other things to do around that area -
1) Mono Lake - if you're familiar with Ansel Adams, you've seen pictures of Mono Lake
2) Bodie - ghost town
3) Bridgeport - small charming town
4) Tuolomne Meadows via Tioga Pass is not too far away
5) across the valley and a bit of a trek - the bristlecone pines

Now to see whether I can block block off a 4 day weekend!

Sounds good. Anybody up for a caravan from SF?

Mark,

As discussed, lots going for a Mammoth Weekend. Cooler temps, great scenery, good roads in a fun locale. Certainly has to be less "SMOKE" than we have in the Tahoe area from the CA fires - not sure I've seen it this bad in 13 years up here. Count ML and me in. We can help out as well.

Robaz,

If you you can make it from Phoenix, I'm sure there's a bunch of others (much closer) that can make it too. Looking forward to meeting you!

Planning to go, and thinking of driving up Friday some time. Caymanavan sounds like a good idea!

leaving SF Friday morning would give us some time to gawk at Yosemite...
(i've never seen it!!)
coming back either Sunday or Monday would be fine with me as well.


sounds like the start of a plan - who else is in for a Caymanavan?
