Quoteeeek Well, yosemitepark.com was owned by DNC. I tell you, our government is run by idiots. When the internet came into being, all major companies snatched up domain names.

I just watched "Valley Uprising" on Netflix. It was a very informative and well made documentary about the rise of rock climbing in the valley. There is also a very interesting part which documents how a plane filled with high grade Colombian marijuana that was recovered by climbers who subsequently got rich selling it. I highly recommend checking it out. A couple links I found abouby hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

For Bryce it's not necessary to stay in the park. You drive to each scenic spot anyway. Zion must do hikes: Angel's Landing, The Narrows, Canyon Overlook, Emerald Pools and Weeping Wall. I've spent several months living in Springdale just outside Zion, so I could go on and on, but those are the best for a short trip.by hotrod4x5 - General Discussion

I had a 31 ft. 5th wheel for a time and I would always be able to fit into sites that said 30+ motorhome and something like 24 ft. trailer max. You have to look at the descriptions, most of the pads allow quite a bit of overhang off the back end. I would just park my truck sideways in front of the trailer. It's been a few years, but if I recall correctly this is site 65 in UP:by hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Thanks for sharing, a very interesting document to read. And it seems to make sense. DNC is no longer doing business in Yosemite, therefore it will be abandoning the usage of the trademarks.
