It's surprising that the Bridal Veil camp was rated for 150 horses.  That would
imply parking for 50 to 75 rigs.  There must have been whole huge sections that
were simply kept out of use that we never got to see.

In any case, we thank you profusely for your efforts to save Yosemite as a
destination for riders!  Well done!
