Details

Hey everyone,

Let's go to Yosemite!

We'll apply for the daily Half Dome lottery when there and modify the schedule as necessary.

The site is booked and dates confirmed! I got another site that's 1hr out of the valley for people who want to come over the weekend or if more than 6 people sign up.
Please confirm and send Tristan/Jin a deposit ($100) to reserve your spot.

The campsites have drinking water, good toilets, showers, small and expensive restaurants/grocery. We will make a stop in San Francisco or surrounding areas for food and camping gas.

Recommended Plane Tickets:
May 27 ORD to SFO 7:20AM arrive at 10:02AM
June 3 SFO to ORD 1:45PM arrive at 8:01PM
Since we are driving together it's easier if everyone sticks to that time.
SFO to Yosemite is a beautiful 3.5hr scenic drive.
