I did subscribe:-), but.. can you elaborate your last sentence, please? I thought it's kinda open group, and now it looks like it's goona be "by invitatrion only".
possibly, depending on date and stuff
Sounds great, I have FFM left so getting there would not be much of a problem. Put me down for a yes, conditional depending on date. As I remember (1951 or so) spring comes late up there.

yes, sid, that's exactly right. nik - no closed group thing about this at all. when i do open it up, it'll be first come first served
i only could get nine rooms, all the places are jammmmmmmmmmmmed!
Are there any places outside of the park where people can stay? If activities are planned and the times posted perhaps some "day trippers" would be able to meet everyone and attend a few activities without staying over.

Good idea. If I'm not quick enough to get one of the rooms Andy reserved, I'll find other ways to be there.

When I went there earlier this year we stayed outside the park The ones close to the park were more pricey. The one my.... frugal... wife picked out was in the nearest town. It was a couple of hours outside the park.

- we'll see as things get closer.
we will be meeting somewhere for dinner on sat night - i do know that.
If you have rooms then you must have dates correct? Can you share some info? We need dates to get this all set up for the ones that are able to go. Esp. if some are going to have to stay somewhere in town then we need to get rooms before there filled as well.
Anyone on the east coast priced air fair yet? How much would one plan to spend to fly to S.F.

I flew there earlier this year for $150 round trip from Ohio, but it all depends on the dates. Airfares change drasticly with dates especially in the spring if it is close to spring break time. prices go through the roof.

Well as soon as we get a date then I will look into it.
make your reservations now
may 6th and 7th, friday night & saturday night. we're staying at wawona (near the south entrance of the park). i have only 8 rooms, all the rooms come with lovely shared bathrooms "down the hall" sorry but this was the best i could do, the entire month of may 2005 is booked solid at all the hotels & lodges, i was lucky to be able to get these.
all of the remaining details will be dealt with soon enough, but for now, if you want to go, i need a payment from you. the first folks who paypal me their deposit money will be guaranteed one of these rooms.
the details: if you wish to be part of this extravaganza, please send me a private message, and include your paypal email address, and if you require the room for you, for you and your spouse or significant other, or if you are able to share the room with another dgrinner. i will invoice you for your deposit ($125) vial paypal. the reservationist (moi!), will handle all reservations on a first come, first served basis, so get me your pms fast

If I go my wife is going to be with me. Is that ok? I too am confused.
Speak with sweet words, for you never know when you may have to eat them....
Assuming the dates work, I'm most definitely in. Great idea, Andy, thanks for thinking of this and for organizing it!

There's one place where the winter rate is as low as $79. I have no idea how much staying in the park costs. Haven't done that yet.
