Not to answer your question, but I just clicked Tyler's link to see how availability was looking.  Every day of the meet is still shown as "available" for day use entry.  That's as of now.  If you're going, I wouldn't wait till the last minute.  If you have a pass (senior or annual) there's no entry fee, but you will still need the day use pass.  I believe there's a small fee for the day use pass, if I understood their clunky website.

 
Time for a bump for this year's YFO. There are currently two housekeeping cabins (with kitchenette and next to the stream out back), two smaller cabins (called Family Queen Rooms - no kitchenette and across from the stream out back), three tent cabins (hard walls with fabric top), and one wagon left. All the motel rooms have been booked.

So get off yer bums and make a reservation and come join in the fun!! :)

EDIT: RSVP list updated in post 1. Let me know if I missed anyone.

 
Here are a few route options for the weekend:

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest / Convict Lake / June Lake Loop
https://goo.gl/maps/vPbDEjsxuDZyJbfeA

Sonora/Ebbetts/Monitor Passes (dependent on how the fire suppression is going in the area… you can shorten it by coming south on 395 but be aware of diligent law enforcement in the area)

Big Yosemite Loop (including 49 and the Little Dragon)

Other points of interest:

Lone Pine Movie Museum / Movie Rd (dirt)
https://www.lpmuseum.org/
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/movie-road-trail

Manzanar
https://www.nps.gov/manz/index.htm

Bodie Ghost Town (dirt road to get there – very close to the Settlement)
https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=509

Death Valley (long haul)

Sequoia Natl Park / Kings Canyon Natl Park (definitely a loooonnnggg haul but it can be done… right, FYB?? 😉 )

And of course there is Yosemite – I’d recommend going in on Thursday or Friday to avoid the crowds for the most part (and hopefully you paid attention to my earlier post about getting a pass into the park… if you didn’t, you can give it a go now and see if you can still get the 3-day pass… you can get a timed entry to go straight through the park but that won’t allow much time to explore).

For meals: There is a restaurant onsite so everyone is on their own for Thursday and Friday. Group banquet dinner will be on Saturday, September 4, at 6:30pm followed by tall tales and lies and more lies around the bonfire. Meal costs are as follows and include all the fixings plus tax and tip:

Steak Dinner - $54 (T-bone)
Steak Dinner - $48 (Ribeye)
Steak Dinner - $41 (New York)
Chicken Dinner - $37
1/2 rack ribs - $38
Grilled Salmon - $34
Vegetarian Dinner- $29

Please Paypal your meal $$ to [email protected] and remember to tell me what meal(s) you want… thank you!! :D

 
Family commitments causes me to cancel my reservation for this year's YFO, I was hoping to be able to squeeze this in but it just doesn't pencil out.   I may ride down to say hello one evening if I can get a brief hall pass. Have a good time folks!
