Disposable paper under pants. You can get these from drug stores.

Try not to wear cotton, or heaven forbid, woolen materian. They are
very difficult to dry. Wear quick dry travel clothes.

Even better!

BTW, I see on the tour's web site that there are laundry facilities on
day six. Day five would have been better, but six is good enough.

Are you referring to adult diapers?

If you're referring to adult incontinence underwear, I think I'll pass.
They make a noise when you walk :-)

Epically if they're full. ;-)

Of course not. These are underpants, made of paper, that's actually
quite comfortable, and of course disposable. They won't "hold"
anything, so are not diapers.

No not diapers, underpants. I am surprise that people are not more
aware of these. They are great for traveling because they pack very
small, and of course disposable. They won't "hold" anything so are
not diapers. They don't make a noise either.

You have an excellent start. Make sure you have a warm sweater plus
a windbreaker as well as some long pants - it can get downright cold
in those mountains at night and early morning.

Check.


Garage sales will be far and few between in the immediate
Yosemite/Sierra area.

The clothing has already been bought here. I plan on throwing it away
there, to make room for anything bought on the trip, hence making it
unnecessary to ship anything home, unless I buy something really big
(not likely).

Pick up your toiletries at one of the drug stores here - we have
Longs, Walgreen, and Rite-Aide.

This is a guided tour:

The hotels have hair dryers and all bath supplies, except toothbrush
and toothpaste.

On your way back, ship back to yourself everything you want to keep.

Now, that would defeat the purpose of not having to pay for carry-on
luggage, unless shipping is free :-)


And don't overlook the east Sierras. Plenty to see there that you'll
find nowhere else. If at all interested in nature photography, don't
miss the Mountain Light gallery in Bishop, established by Galen
Rowell. It is well worth even a 15-20 minute visit. And if you do
get to the east Sierras, the cheapest gas will be either at the
indian casino just north of Bishop or at the Giggle Springs gas
station in Bishop.

Thank you very much for the info. The tour's itinerary looks pretty
good. I like to take a guided tour first, if possible. Then, upon
returning, I have a realistic idea of where to go and how much time it
takes. This looks like something I'd want to do again on my own.

Instead of throwing the close away: 1) see if there is a vintage
clothing store close to where you are staying. You might be able to sell
the items to them, 2) Check at the front desk and with locals to see if
there is any charity willing to take these clothes.

I have also heard: " Ladies don't sweat; they conspire" also "Ladies
don't sweat; we perspire and Southern Ladies just glow."

I've never heard of them. But if they are comfortable I could see how
they might be useful for someone on a long trip who doesn't want to do
laundry.

What's the brand name and how much do they cost?
