Go to your local Yosemite Park Entrance Friday and Saturday. Your help is needed. This is a busy weekend and everyone is distracted. But this must be done. This Friday and Saturday, families from communities around Yosemite will be setting up greeting stations at ALL YOSEMITE PARK ENTRANCES to greet visitors as they wait in line to enter the park. The family representatives will be handing the visitors a quick survey to fill out and return about how the visitor feels about being forced out of his or her car. The survey will also ask about the Park Service’s closing 60% of the campsites in Yosemite that were there before the 1980 General Management Plan and shutting down over 70% of the parking that existed in Yosemite Valley prior to the 1980 Plan. When: Friday, May 23rd from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM Saturday, May 24th from 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM It is urgent that you go to your closest entrance to support your fellow residents and help keep Yosemite Open. Don’t allow the Park Service to lock you out. Families representing the group Visitors and Communities for an Open Yosemite will be at the Highway 41, Highway 140 and Highway 120 Entrances starting at 10:00 AM Friday and going until 8:00 PM Friday night. They will start again at 8:00 AM on Saturday and go until 6:00 PM Saturday night. It is very important that you show up, even for an hour or two, to support keeping Yosemite Open. Bring signs that only focus on Yosemite, chairs, water and of course a hat. For more information, contact Chuck Cushman of American Land Rights on his cell phone at (360) 607-3312. Or call Dan Carter at (559) 683-4636. Please tell your friends to go. Call a neighbor. Help us send a message to Congress and the Park Service keep to Yosemite open and accessible to families and cars.
