YFO 2018? Now YFO Fall 2019

[JREW]

It's in my back yard, so YES.

The reality that I will be retired by that time next year is just starting to set in.

How about a base out of Lee Vining / Bishop area? Easy access to the good roads but not all the traffic from the west side of the hill. Can't beat the eastern side of the Sierra's in late September.

I second Doug's request for the east side as a base camp.

Yep!

Bridgeport, Twin Lakes, Virginia Lakes, multiple hot springs, Sonora Pass, Mono Lake, Hwy 120 east, June Lake, Mammoth, Tioga Pass and all that high country YNP goodness, multiple routes and passes to home, tree colors . . .

Maybe make this an every other year thing and do it in 2019?

I like that idea.

(1) No matter how hard you try, you won't duplicate the just-completed YFO.

(2) It would make things a hell of a lot easier on you, right?

I realize it won't be duplicated but it can be another really special trip for anyone who comes along! It isn't that challenging for me to do but since we just did it and it's a big trip, this will give folks a breather and give others a chance to schedule ahead - I mean, 2 years in advance should be enough, right?? :lol:

Yep, and it will also allow me to knock off two Atlanta trips in 2018. Thanks, darlin'.

Don't you do the Bridgeport thing every year in Sept?

Usually... but that can be worked around or even included.

I was waiting to hear about some tentative travel plans with my daughter and her future hubby but that trip has been pushed to April 2020 so September is now clear.

Was thinking of Sept. 12-15, 2019 (two weekends after Labor Day so kids are back in school and most tourists are back home and should be early enough to not interfere with EOM). Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Only if you come to Alaska in June!

Only if you come to Alaska in June!

It's on my radar... but I thought it was May??

 

[bigjohnsd]

Dates not set in stone, last week in May is possible. Too early means likelihood of Snow, doable on a Spyder, not so doable on the FJR
