    Yosemite half-dome hike, October 2016

    Hello there! I'm positive you camped at the same site that I did as well, by your description. Such an incredible view, eh?!

    What is the definition of a "bench site"? (referring to a campsite)

    I've heard this term multiple times, but I can't figure out exactly what it refers to. Does it refer to the topography of where you're camping, or is bench a noun....lol?

    Lens recommendation? (moose,grizzlies,etc..)

    Yes, I have found a couple of teleconverters. The Sony versions are not cheap, coming in at above $500....whew! Not a bad idea at all though. Good input! Thank you!
