Just a few of the many happy participants in past FaceLifts. As you can see, it changed their lives!
Yet more happy helpers, in training anyway. From the Yosemite elementary school.

I've only ever driven through the valley
Was in the Sierra a couple weeks last summer. Spent a couple days in Tuolumne.

I made it there with my broken back Anita. You'll probably be on crutches by then or maybe even poles? You'll do fine.

Hey Anders, I know that UCSB dude. The pink troll too. Who else have you transmogrified? Shame on you.
Anita, if you can make it to Facelift and are still gimpy and in need of an option other than sleeping on the ground drop me a PM.

I'd love to go. Someone wanna pick me up?
;)
Susan: if all goes well, I might be either frame free or close to being frame free by then. So I will be able to move around well, probably without crutches, so camping should be ok. We will see though. Thanks for the offer!

Yeah, I'm planning on it. My boy is big enough now to be productive in the cleanup. He's actually into sh#t like this, unlike his dad.
You can count on us showing up. Be good to see the old cast of characters too, which is really why I dig the event. But, as I said, my son will have a blast picking up trash so I'll be fully committed to the effort.
Davis, you should show up! I'll climb with ya, if you'll have me....
The only remaining question is Meatfest, Pastafest, or Tacofest? Are y'all still doing the meatfests?

Anita, trying to at least reduce our impacts on the environment is part of the point of the FaceLift, so we try to carpool and stuff. If you can somehow get yourself and your stuff to California, something will turn up. Sacramento, Bakersfield and Fresno would be easy, and Los Angeles and the Bay area possible. People come from all those places.
Camping at Yellow Pines is within a few m of vehicles, and at Camp 4 up to 100 m. Buses and carpools help people get around. Some of the 'jobs' are relatively less active, so that could be worked out too.
If you're flying, it's also possible to borrow or share needed camping gear.

Wouldn't miss it for a job at Patagonia. Well, that all worked out last year, lets see if I can make it work this year too!

Anita, if you fly into San Jose Int'l airport, I got ya covered. You can even crash at my house!
I live 5min from the airport. Since we're a family of 3, 1 more can comfortably fit you into our vehicle to the valley.

anita or anyone else (not just women) worried about transportation.
Plenty of Bay Area and LA Area people come.
SFO is closest and often cheapest, major airport. LAX good if you're also planning to visit southern climbing areas.
Post up here a couple of weeks in advance and you'll find a ride to the Valley.
Once there, you'll find a ride home.
Unfortunately, by that time, the blunderful Yosemite transportation system will have likely stopped its service through Tuolumne Mdws to the East Side.

My boy is big enough now to be productive in the cleanup. He's actually into sh#t like this, unlike his dad.
I got a call from a young mother with a two year old boy, wanting to stage an event to clean up the desert in part of Yucca Valley. The youngster was fascinated, showing us every treasure he found and wanting to know what it was. I failed badly though not getting a photo when she was carrying him on her shoulders while picking up trash.
There is some human nature at work here.

Barbarian is in!
Looking forward to my traditional spot in Yellow Pine C.
Anita,
Big Mike made it with a broken back. I came a month before undergoing spinal fusion and again the next year (it was far less painful after the surgery). Looking forward to seeing you there as well.
Let's pick up some trash!

Christina and I are planning to be there for at least Friday thru Sunday. Was kinda bummed to hear that Chongo and Big Mike were there last year and we didn't make it, but I won't whine too hard about it as we were in Africa :)
Looking forward to the event as always!
