How does August feel?

With the hotels filling up super fast (1 year in advance) and Dayne Petersen not knowing exactly when his vacation can be we are thinking 1st week in August will work out best for more people.

Are they goinog to the shower or the river??

Here are the lovely ladies of Yosemite:
Sis. Gholdston & Sis. Kelly

Sis. Fink and Sis. Earnshaw

The Kelly Kids. We have many pictures of kids getting washed in this tub. Whoever brought this was the hero!

I love this river. That's Morgan Kelly Wallet

Gathering Photos & Picking a Date

To any and all friends who have been to Yosemite please send me your photos via email www.benjamingibbs@gmail.com so we can start putting them together in a photo album/on this web sight.

There are so many memories I have from my childhood. Having children brings back more and more of them. Growning up in the same house and ward my entire childhood helps. One of our families favorite memories comes from taking camping trips to Yosemite. The best part was having so many of our friends with us. I am not sure who was all there. I do remember a few Kelly, Gholdston, Francome, Earnshaw, Long, Higbee, and many more. If you know of any others please let them know we are going again and would love to have as many friends reunite as possible....


Now for picking a date!
Kathy Kelly gets out of shcool June 11th.
We are still waiting for Melinda Muse's husband to let us know when he can get away from his first BIG job in Oklahoma. We should know by mid July his dates.

Here's the problem- in order to make reservations for Hotels (in Yosemite Valley) we need to start now. You can make reservations 366 days before your arrival. Camping can only be done 6 months in advance!
