I emailed some of my co-workers your post who "were" interested in hiking Mt. Whitney and the Sierra Nevada.

Many of my co-workers would drive 4-5 hours to Disneyland or Magic Mountain, but won't take 4 hours to drive to and around Yosemite. I guess they heard the horror stories that the road through Wawona is windy and that the valley is bumper-to-bumper. My wife and I live in Coarsegold and prefer the Mariposa-El Portal route. Yes, a little longer, but seeing the Merced River makes it all worthwhile. Picking up some wild blackberries makes the journey even more pleasurable.

There are some here at work who have NEVER been to YNP and have lived and worked in Fresno, Madera, or the San Joaquin Valley all of their life.

I told them about the lottery process and how much the permits cost per person. They "cringed" saying at $15.00 is way too much for their budget. I asked them, "How much is a day pass to Disneyland?"

Hopefully your videos will spark an interest. They have no idea what they're missing!

Get up, gear up, get out, get going, and git'r done!

Ah, The Gr8 Yd Opn.

Have fun...

+ @ti2d;

Thanks for your thoughts and blog. And you're absolutely right how some never even try to go out to enjoy nature. Here in Vegas it's the same thing: Most Las Vegans never even went to Red Rock Canyon, yet it's only some 20 miles from the Strip - don't know what they're missing! Hopefully, my videos makes them and others hike at least "virtually"...!

As someone who has to spend quite a chunk of change, time and effort to get out the the natural wonders of the west a couple of times each year, this is just freakin' unbelievable. Talk about differing priorities . . .

When I lived in So-Cal, I had a roommate that was so fired up to get to Yosemite that he traveled in the front boot of a VW. Supposedly, Fred removed the badge on the front of his car so that Ralph had a hole to see ahead. OK, I know there's not much room in there, but he was a very skinny guy. Perhaps it was just a story for a wet-behind-the-ears Oz, but it sure is illustrative. I did end up climbing the East Face with those two. Twice.

I'm taking a nephew from Oz there on Sunday.
