Hi Bill,

You are correct, we have adjusted our perameters for "side trips" since we are coming all the way from the east coast, we just can't fathom going all the way out there and not setting foot in the Yosemite backcountry.

As far as our plan for 2 nights on the mountain, it is mainly for acclimatization since we live at around 100ft above sea level. The two camps we are planning on are Trail Camp and Outpost Camp.

The only potential major snag is getting the permits. I need to book airline tickets but can't even consider it until we get he trailhead passes. If anyone has advice on securing the passes, other than having our three computers up and ready to go when they open up the lotto, please advise.

Cheers,

Greg
