Hi,

Here is the information for booking camping for this year's Facelift.

We are now ready to take camping reservations for participants of Yosemite Facelift 2014. The event will start with an evening program September 23 and will end at midnight on September 28. If you would like to participate and reserve free camping during that, or part of that timeframe please email us at Yosemitefaceliftcamping@hotmail.com with the following information.

1. Campground preference in order from #1 to #3. In the Valley, Yellow Pines, Camp4, and Upper Pines are available. We also have Tuolumne sites available for the same dates.

2. We need to know what dates you would like to reserve. Start date and leave date.

3. We also need to know the number of folks in your party and their names.

This information is crucial to reduce the amount of work required to reserve this camping. We also would appreciate to hear of any changes or cancellations on your end promptly, so that we can accommodate you or others that may be on a waiting list.

We do have a limited amount of camping available prior to, and after the event for those that want to help with setup or with breakdown which is greatly appreciated. If you are interested please mention it when you are reserving your camping and we will try to work that out for you.

Thank you and hope to see you there,

Ken Yager

P.S. I need to thank Maureen for taking on the reservation task. I would also like to thank Black Diamond for their commitment this year. Evening programs will be announced later on when they are confirmed.

I highly encourage a few to remain after the event to help Ken take the Facelift infrastructure components back to storage in El Portel.

Last year everyone ran away and NPS had to do your job .......

Good news bump, and e-mail sent. And thanks to Maureen (Lucky Pink) for agreeing to take on the campground bookings job - it's a huge one.

Werner, I was there after the FaceLift, and helped clean, put away, and pack up things. Essentially, whatever we were asked to do was done. IIRC we had to put some stuff into a bay behind the rescue cache, instead of taking it down to El Portal. The reason being that the cleanup was on Monday, September 30th - and on the morning of October 1st the NPS announced that the park was being closed, and that we all had to leave by noon on Thursday. Many people left on Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning they weren't allowing vehicles to re-enter the park, which was somewhat awkward in terms of taking stuff to El Portal.

So, sorry we didn't finish everything, but we did our best. We'll try to do better this year, and suggestions are welcome.

Howdy to everyone! Got your emails. replies will come out next week about thursday because I'm going on a backpacking trip this weekend and skiing one last day mid week next week so .... you know.

Here is some info:
UNLESS YOU HAVE MY PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER you can assume I cannot guess your name from the colloquialisms of your email.

you MUST include your first and last name, the first and last name of ALL people in your party (NPS) including the ages of your children attending if any. as well as your enter and exit dates and preference for camping.

Hi I want camp 4 there's 6 of us
will not get you a reservation UNLESS YOU HAVE MY PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER and then I of course know who you are and what you normally do when you get here.

If you have already sent an email that does not include this info just hang on and wait for the one I will send you requesting it. Because I probably know most of you who jumped on this starting at midnight last night. Rest assured you are taken care of.

this ship is gonna be TIGHT this year. Your cooperation, understanding, jolliness will be appreciated.

Yours TRULY,
the Indomitable Miss LuckyPink

Agree with Anders. I stayed after to help and didn't get used.....well that doesn't sound quite right but you get the message. I have a big van and lots of energy so ready to rumble. Cheers, Lynne
