That sign refers to the Ranger Station, not the Lodge.

How about this one?

And my favorite:
(while I love this sign... personally think it's pretty bad to have it up still since some of the trails are no longer in existence)

I have just three words for your two photos: out of date.

Maybe you should complain to the NPS - we're certain that they would be more than willing to remove those signs in order to comply with the obtusely fabricated whims of DNC's marketing department.

I went to St. Bruno Elementary School and we always had beaver in the cafeteria on Fridays.

Tell that to the park service. Those signs are still up. (which was part of my point)

But that's why the signs ARE out of date. If the signs were no longer there, then they wouldn't be out of date (only your photos would be).

Read this link chicken-boy and see that there are only 5 (five) camps:
http://www.yosemitepark.com/Accomodations_HighSierraCamps.aspx
Look especially at the overview map.
That site is nothing but DNC marketing.
Ahem...
This site isn't: http://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/vogelsang.htm
And what does it state in the first paragraph of that webpage?
"Vogelsang is one of Yosemite’s five high sierra camps and is located approximately 7.5 miles south of the Tioga Road in the Tuolumne Meadows area." (emphasis added)

It's all in fun w/r to the HSC.
I have been told that they are going to change the name from
Tuolumne Meadows Lodge
to
Tuolumne Meadows Resort & Spa
at the end of the day... it's a HSC
Have a Resortful Day (and enjoy your mud bath)

You guys crack me up. When it was built, it was a high Sierra camp. At some point someone changed the name. Should we still call Cape Canaveral, Cape Kennedy?
I find it fascinating how many people get attached to the orignal name of a place, and if the name of the place changes, they refuse to acknowledge the new name and continue to refer to the place by its old, outdated name.
The most ridiculous example of this phenomena in my opinion was when the name of the stadium that's the home of the San Francisco Giants was changed (due to corporate mergers) from its original name, Pacific Bell Park, to SBC Park and finally to AT&T Park. There are still Giants fans that refer to it as Pac Bell Park. What I find so ridiculous about this example is that the ballpark, which opened in year 2000, was named Pacific Bell Park only for a few short years. And second, there was nothing special about the name Pacific Bell Park, since it was just a corporate name, named after the local Ma Bell phone company. Yet some Giants fans cling to that name. Go figure.
Your example is a little different but I generally refuse to use the corporate names of ballparks when there has been a long established name. And the tallest building in North America is STILL the Sears Tower! Don't take that as an opposition to selling naming rights.
But why not call the former Sears Tower by its current name: the Willis Tower, since Sears is no longer an occupant of the tower. I just don't understand this perchant for clinging to outdated names of places.

I think you would be crazy not to take the money if someone is offering it. I think Soldier Field and Wrigley Field should sell their naming rights and then Chicagoans would still call them Soldier and Wrigley Fields.
Soldier Field is a bit different since it is a well establish and historic stadium. I can understand people refusing to call it by some impermanent corporate naming-rights name. But in regards to Wrigley, why not then just call it by its original name, Weeghman Park?

Everyone doesn't realize that this is all pretty much a dig on The Old Dude.
This thread:
http://yosemitenews.info/forum/read.php?1,13130
Used to have a option to vote.
Also, Merced Lake HSC used to also be called Merced Lake Lodge.
Hopefully someday soon all the HSC in the backcountry go bye bye.
I am happy to see that many of the comments on Vogelsang refurbishments
(which I guess I should thank the Marmuts for screwing up? ??) say pretty
much what I've been saying for a while now...
- HSCs take AWAY from wilderness experience
- HSCs put major stress on trails and infrastructure due to poop trains
- HSCs are not good for da Environment
If you stay active you should be able to hike to many a glorious spot in Yosemite.
Just ask THE Old Dude
Have a nice day,

How many people still call Curry Village, Camp Curry? Yes, the old sign is still there, but no where in the literature does it call itself Camp Curry anymore. If you are one of the name purists, I suggest you start calling it Camp Curry, just to be consistent. 
September 13, 2011 08:08AM |
The correct name for Curry Village is:
Camp Hostesss Twinkie Curry Village Spa and Resort presented by El Pollo Loco
Half Dome a Nice Day,
Camp Hostesss Twinkie Curry Village Spa and Resort presented by El Pollo Loco
Half Dome a Nice Day,

I call it Camp Curry, but I've been going there forever, since I was a little kid.
Just went to White Wolf for the first time ever one week ago, and from now on I'm calling it "Overhyped, boring campground with a crappy store and nowhere to park".
September 13, 2011 08:21PM |
Once named, always named.
I doubt that I'll ever call them anything other than Sears Point Raceway, and Candlestick Park.
Same for a Sacramento's Arco Arena ( which is now . . . blah! . . . Power Balance Pavilion
)
Sears Tower will be that forever, what's a Willis?
Where's the nearest Kragun's auto parts store? ( whats O'Reilly? )
Some people don't change well

To me it depends upon why you're asking me to change. Some change can be good and interesting, but if you're asking me to change because you decided to have a corporate merger/buyout/flameout/etc....that sounds like it should be your problem rather than mine.
