Here’s a little time-lapse of Jason and Wendy discussing the location of their tooth-paste.
You have pretty much 2 choices of dwellings in Curry Village (That’s the name of the particular “town” inside of Yosemite where we stayed). There’s the perma-tent (a wooden platform on the ground with canvas sides and a roof – tent style, and, the full-on heated cabin. I’ve stayed in the perma-tents before and they can be… tough. You’re not allowed to keep any food in them as bears come down into camp at night and will stick their noses into the tent looking for candy and small children to chew on, and there are frequently bugs and sand all over the place cause – you know – it’s a tent. You do get a cot to sleep on, and a single light-bulb in the center of the ceiling – which is coincidently the only place that you can stand upright, but all in all it’s pretty low-fi. We were lucky enough to have happened upon a cancellation at the last minute (during check-in) for a heated cabin. An extra $12 a night sealed the deal, and we had space and food-in-abode privs galore. There was also the aforementioned heater, a necessity when temperatures drop near freezing. The heater sounded like a freight train when it kicked on in the middle of the night, and within about 8 minutes had the temperature in the cabin near 90 – it would then stay on for the next hour or so tempting you to get out of bed to silence it.
