Actually, when I have been on a cruise ship and there is a health concern, the food is presented buffet style, but passengers are not allowed to serve themselves. The food is behind glass partitions, and the crew serves the food onto each plate on...just like your lunch line in elementary school, only with glass partitions up...and hopefully better food!

Now that makes sense. I was thinking in terms of a serve yourself buffet.

Markskor, I saw a thread on farcebook saying that the Tuolumne store and Post Office weren't going to open this year. Can you confirm?

[markskor]

No real news yet...last year they opened July 1 so....
my bid is in...hoping...
My understanding is that only the store, post office, and grill to open up...sometime, Backpacker camp open too . No TM main campground, no TM lodge. I will post as soon as i hear anything. mark

My wife and I have a reservation for TM lodge on June 29th and 30th, for what that's worth. We haven't yet received a notice of cancellation.

We also have a permit for a short trip going in the Cathedral Lakes trailhead on June 24th. However, along with the permit we received the following notice:

Your permit reservation is confirmed and will be sent to you shortly. This is a closure warning. Yosemite being available to backpacker permits does not necessarily mean that Tioga Road will be available to you. If you are unable to reach your trailhead, you will be unable to access the park.

We created this permit because we do not have an exact opening date for Tioga Road.

Markskor, it's good to hear that you're back.

We got the notice:

We are pleased that the park will be able to re-open, however, through guidance from the National Park Service, it has been determined that the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge and White Wolf Lodge will not open for the 2020 season due to impacts from COVID-19.

As a result, we need to cancel your reservation for 6/30/2020.
