So if others are interested in that I'll meet ya at the local McD's, hehe.

Thanks.

Mornin' Ray,

I looked into camping while, but all the sites in Yosemite are already booked up so I went the hotel route. Actually, I rented a 2 bedroom cabin for Fri-Sunday night (check out Monday). It will be me and my two sons, but if you are interested in splitting the cost, they'd be more than happy to sleep on the hide-a-bed and you could have the second bedroom.. The rate is $147.15/night after tax, but I'd let you but in for $55/night. Let me know if you are interested.

As for meeting up for dinner, we are talking about meeting at a place called The Mountain House. Dress is cassual and the dinner menu offers many options ranging from burgers to prime rib. That doesn't mean we can't hit a Mc D's one of the other nights though..

Also, we are doing a photo exchange where we all swap prints with the others in attendance. So far it's a pretty limited gathering in that there's just a few of us going. If you decide to go and participate in the swap you'd need a print for Penny, Gene, me and possibly Lionheart if he's able to make it.

Get back to me about the sharing the cabin and keep an eye on this thread over the next few weeks so we can all share some contact info. If you want to take a look at the place I'm staying check out http://www.theforksresort.com .

Looking forward to meeting you!
