I think the members of this forum have done an extraordinary job of defeating and/or obstructing Tran to the point where he is a failure. I am impressed with the resilience of this forum in beating this guy to the floor and holding him there. It is unfortunate that the private companies and government agencies involved will not or cannot do what it takes to stop this mans singular greed, thby Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Volunteers get two days off of each week. During the spring/summer/fall there are enough volunteers to "overlap" for coverage. During winter, there is usually a single host in Upper Pines. Most hosts have been returning for 10 years or more.by Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

The NPS is not "forced' to use volunteer camp hosts. It's a practical application. Volunteer Camp Hosts have been an integral part of the NPS for 30 plus years. Ask NPS, they will tell you they could not operate without them. Volunteers "volunteer" for 2-6 month stints in the park. They are there 24/7 in the campgrounds. Rangers are "required" to live outside the Paby Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I found this old 90 second video that I made/posted on Youtube that might give you an idea of what conditions might occur. It's dated 2008 but it was actually 2007. It snowed 3 feet overnight. The picture of the camper is in the second loop at Upper Pines. No snow plow. Had to dig out to leave. But, I wandered around that morning (26th) and did not see another person for hours.

Dave, if you're talking about the people on the Park level, about the people working in the Valley, well then I believe I totally understand where you are coming from in that respect. The folks "serving" the people are as frustrated, if not more, than the folks on the forum. The average years of service given by volunteer campground hosts is 15 years and they are very vocal in theirby Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Well, Dave, that's a rather beguiling and open ended statement. If you are all knowing , if you have an opinion, then by all means please share. If not, well, then why bother to post?by Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I think this forum has really impacted the primary hacker, Tran. I've kept track of his "inventory" and the turnover has been pretty static. I think he's a scammer that relays on a free ride from Craigslist. If he is denied his "marketplace" on Craigslist, he will lose money, and he will fail. I believe he IS failing. The forum has "whacked" him in such numbers anby Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I'm there every winter. You should have chains aboard for your vehicle and for your trailer. You may not get in, nor get out, if you don't have them. Highway 140 is best in winter. Bring a generator, if you have one. The Honda eu1000 or 2000 is a lifelong friend. Have full tanks (or spare fuel) for everything. Last winter was essentially spring weather however the previous year, in mid Maby Blue Moon - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
