Sounds good, except for the wind!

Bummer that Badger Pass is closed. This weekend would have been Spring Fest.

...and Lower Pines campground opens for the season tomorrow, just in time for a bunch of folks to set up their tents in the rain! What fun!

Been there, done that more than once but in Upper Pines.

Me also, in all three (Upper, Lower & North) at one point or another over the years. I feel for those folks tomorrow.

We used to joke that if somewhere was having a drought, they should invite us to go camp there. We always liked to camp in Yosemite in May so we got rained on a lot. Maybe we should go camping soon and break this drought.

Man I wish I could go out to Shaver Lake and maybe hit the Dinkey Lakes loop.
