Yosemite > alphamicro  > California Vacation 2008 > Yosemite > Housekeeping Unit
I spent my first night in Yosemite in a housekeeping unit. Three concrete walls, one canvas wall, and a stockade of sorts...... After staying too long at Hetch Hetchy I didn't reach the valley floor until well after dark. I can't tell you how many times I circled the valley before finally pulling in. There are over 250 of these "units," and I think they were all taken. From what I saw and heard that night plus saw the next day, I would describe the whole scene there as very similar to LSU football tailgating without the booze. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

alphamicro > There's the entrance I kept missing the night before.  One of my other mistakes was deciding that the check in was at Curry Village - nope.  That was a little ways down the (one-way) road, so I got one more (final) drive in the dark around the valley floor.
