It is that time of year again. We are now ready to receive camping requests from participants of Yosemite Facelift 2012. Dates available are September 25th - September 30th. We have free camping for about 350 Facelift volunteers in Yosemite Valley this year. Tuolumne Campground will be closed during the Facelift, but there will be a few sites available in Porcupine Flat for the folks that want to clean in the Meadows. Yosemite Valley campground choices are Yellow Pines, Camp 4, and Upper Pines. Special thanks to Columbia Sportswear who helped us purchase an extra 40 campsites in Upper Pines Campground. Requests can be sent to yosemitefaceliftcamping@hotmail.com. We need the following information:
First and Last names of all those requesting camping
Email Address for confirmation
Arrival Date
Departure Date
Campground Preference (first choice, second choice, third choice).
For updates check out our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yosemite-Facelift/120770414636649 or our web site http://www.yosemiteclimbing.org/
Thank you and hope to see you there,
Ken Yager

Please be sure to send request and information to the email address provided. It makes my life a lot easier and it will be less likely for your request to slip through the cracks.
Thanks,
Ken

Lila, if you want to attempt a little climbing at the FaceLift, that might be arranged. That, plus seeing if not attempting some of your father's climbs. You'll be in good hands.

Thought I should keep this near the top for a while so that folks can get their sites reserved.

Lila, I forgot to mention. Several of us usually arrive in the Valley 4 - 5 days before the official start of the FaceLift, to help Ken in various supporting capacities. It's not quite so busy a time, too. So you'll have some company, but not too much.
