Hi Dear Friends:
How many times in a life time you can see your old friends who you have not seen for a very long time, perhaps for decades, together in one place doing the same thing? You are really lucky if the answer is more than ONCE. Now listen to this, this ONCE opportunity is just upon the horizon within your radar range.
Someone(s) have proposed that we should go camping together next year in the US southwest next summer. The time frame is between June 23 and mid-August, 2010 for a duration of 2 to 3 weeks. By camping we mean tenting in a National Park, or 'roughing it' if this is your terminology. We also understand that your life style might have changed and camping is no longer in your menu. But you can park your fear and I am confident that someone(s) with full outdoors experience in our group are more than delighted to guide through the steps, rejunvenilling your desire and natural instinct once again.
Where exactly? Yosemeti National Park through the "back doors". For years, this park has been the backyard of Yuen Lai Won and Lam Tung Shing and I am sure they will guide you through their secret spots that most experienced guides can not even match.
Next area of interest is the Grand Circle Tour of the SW mostly in the state of Utah. This tour is the mother of all National Parks. Utah has the highest concentration of Nat. Parks in all States. The parks of interest in the Grand Circle are: Starting closest to San Jose, counting clockwise, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Capitol Reef NP, Grande Staircase Escalante NP, Canyonland NP, Arches NP, Mesa Verde NP, Canyon De Chelly NP and Grand Canyon (North Rim) NP.
Normally, you can see the basic Grand Circle in 12 to 14 days. Pluse a few days in Yosemeti, you are looking at around 18 days as the minimum while you are actually in the area. Of course, we don't have to visit every stop in the Grand Circle (though highly recommended) and then we can bring down the number of days required. However, it all depends on what you wish to do. Without discussing with the Lam's., I personally recommend meeting at the Lam's residence at least the night before and we will start fresh the following morning.
Okay, I don't want to go into too much detail unless there is a support and commitment from you. For now, everything is flexible and only doable and if there is a 'go', we can plan something that can fit most of your desire.
For your information, I have posted all the parks in the Grand Circle Tour in our 'Photos' section in this web site. Please take a moment to look at them. I am sure Betty and TS or even the Internet can serve you well if you need information on Yosemeti.
Your opinion and your interest are important to us all.
Please let us know and please also help to spread the news to the friends who might not have a chance to read this message. Thanks a billion.
