Yosemite 2009
AUGUST 2 THRU 9
OF ALL THE TIMES I'VE SPENT IN YOSEMITE, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I STAYED IN HOUSEKEEPING CAMP.
I MUST SAY THAT THEY MADE US WAIT TILL 3 PM TO CHECK IN SO IT WOULD BE "READY."

WHEN WE DID GET TO OUR SITE IT WAS FILTHY. TRASH STILL IN THE SLEEPING AND COOKING AREAS AND THE FIRE PIT WAS FULL OF ASH AND TRASH AND CANS.

DURING THE STAY THERE WAS TRASH STREWN AROUND THE ENTIRE AREA THAT WAS NOT BEING PICKED UP BY CURRY CLEANING STAFF AT ALL. AT TIMES THERE WAS NO ONE TO HAND OUT TOWELS AT THE SHOWERS AND ONLY A SIGN SAYING TO GO TO THE DESK TO GET A SHOWER TOWEL.

FOR $90 A NIGHT THERE IS VERY LITTLE SERVICE. 
THERE WAS BIKE RIDING AND MULE RIDING AND WALKING AND RAFTING AND SITTING BY THE RIVER....
AND OF COURSE THERE WAS THE FOOD.  IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THE TIME TO COOK, WHY MAKE CRAPPY FOOD? SO WE DIDN'T. WE MADE AND ATE GREAT FOOD!
I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS THAT SAY THE "COOL" THINGS LIKE "I WON'T GO TO YOSEMITE CAUSE IT'S TOO CROWDED AND TRASHY AND..."

I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE MUCH SO IF THEY ARE THERE OR NOT IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. 

WHAT MATTERS IS THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE.  YOU CAN STILL FIND VIEWS LIKE THIS AND JUST SIT AND SOAK IT IN.

IF PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER YOU JUST SLAP EM OR YELL AT THEIR KIDS AND THEY LEAVE YOU ALONE... IT WORKS... ASK ANDREA...
