Now that the Yosemite Mountaineering School and Gas Station is closed this where the Yosemite Mountaineering School is based out of. Worked as a guide from 76 to 83 and started in 76 based out of the now current TM Visitor Center. We had the whole building and would have 40+ clients a day.

Whoa! So this is what it is coming to. Seems like the NPS is focusing on a redirection of the park's facilities program.
Is there anywhere to buy gasoline in the park anymore?

You can still buy gasoline at Crane Flat, but that's it.

crane flat, el portal, wawona
you dont want to know how much gas, time and added traffic happens when nps and aramark vehicles, including hiker shuttle, stationed in tm when they have to drive to crane flat for gas.
just think of how much gas has been used by vehicles having to drive to crane flat or el portal to get gas over the years when they removed the valley gas station

It's funny that people don't even know about the TRP. Just goes to show how much our national park management changes stuff without the public ever knowing.

Why don't they build a building where people can get out of the rain?
That box looks metal. Hope it doesn't conduct.
Workman's comp filing coming up?
ADA compliant?
Climbing and guiding is a traditional recreational use of the YNP and to shove the guides to a box is weak.

My point exactly. The shutting down of gas stations in TM and the valley just causes people to drive further to get a refill.

No but I think the TRP calls for all turnouts through the meadows to be removed, no stopping just take photos as you drive through. Cathedral Peak Parking to be moved to a new lot at the visitor center. Possible removal of parking/turnouts at Glen Aulin shortcut. All employee housing to moved uphill of Lodge Parking lot. NPS stables to moved over with Aramark Stables.
Just a few from the TRP

Ouch.
Are my tiki torches stashed inside that cold steel box?
Because without merriment, you got nothin' ...
First, we dream of becoming.
Then, we attain those experiences.
Last, we dream of what was.

Bet Aramark is salivating at the idea of more people getting towed from running out of gas.

All employee housing to moved uphill of Lodge Parking lot.
So they are going to move all the employee housing above the parking lot, cut down a mess of trees and pour cement for all the tent floors? ...)-;

We should all write essays about what YMS in the Meadows has meant to us.
Tarbuster will be the first one to complete that task...
