Cheers Steve. Thanks for the tip on the Horseshoe Meadows. Sounds like the winner.

Re Trail Camp or Outpost - I guess it depends on how we feel, so take that one as it comes.

Re Yosemite - we actually drove from Lee Vining to the Yosemite entry gates a couple of years ago but about turned to head to Death Valley coz we were running out of time. The road up to Yosemite was excellent. Ideally we'd have a bit more time this visit and stay in Yosemite a couple of nights but the delights of San Fran beckon. California is a bloody big place. Maybe next time.
