Thanks for the great advice, my personal fears are allayed. But some in my party are still worried, so we're no longer going to camp at LYV; instead we're going to be staying at Yosemite Lodge at the Falls each night, and doing Half Dome as a day hike. The Hantavirus hotline person we spoke to said our risk was basically zero if we did that. Will definitely post how the trip goes. (Hopefullby apachemd - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Well, our tentative itinerary is: 10/6 night - stay at Yosemite Lodge at the Falls -- a few miles away from Curry Village I believe 10/7 - hike Glacier Point to Little Yosemite Valley, camp there overnight 10/8 - summit Half Dome, return via Mist Trail to Valley floor 10/8 night - stay at Yosemite View Lodge -- just outside the park, like 20 miles from Curry Village I have been to Curryby apachemd - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

We have a 4-day trip to YNP planned for 10/6-10/9 -- as for many of us, this took a lot of coordination and planning among many people to get together, and we were fortunate enough to get the permits we needed. And now this whole Hantavirus thing is happening. Stay the course, or cancel trip? Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanksby apachemd - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
