    Which ones? I assisted on the Foresta investigation ( I probably should post anything about it though!)

    Cary Stayner was the killer.

    He was an employee at a motel in El Portal and had access to the master keys IIRC. A very tragic crime.

    It was a very convoluted story, John. There was a group of meth-heads in Longbarn which
    were already under suspicion and one of them took a shot at a cop in Modesto, so this put
    the FBI on the wrong trail completely for quite a while. They were even going to try them. Then another Yosemite victim turned up - a young female ranger, and they started looking closer to the Park. Cedar Lodge became a synomym for Bates Hotel. It was constantly in
    the news around here. So is the hanta thing - last nite they reported visitation to Yos
    Valley was down 20% compared to typical years, will lots of folks cancelling Curry Village
    reservations.

    FWIW I noticed on the Delaware North site that they are looking to hire an assistant manager at Curry.

    Fortunately, periodic rockfall from GP continues to obiterate more and more of those filthy CV canvas tenting eyesores. It's all part of a cycle, you see.

    And the last big flood took care of many of the employee ones...so they built a shanty town in a parking lot behind the post office.

    Two more Hanta virus deaths reported. One of the souls reportedly stayed at the High Sierra Camps and wasn't in Yosemite Valley.

    Vaughn, I thought most of the employees were now billeted in the newer permanent structures between Camp Curry and Camp 16?
