SEP 3-6 FRI-MON LABOR DAY WEEKEND * 20s & 30s O: ADVENTURE SERIES: YOSEMITE CAR CAMP Join us on our adventure- a Car camp to Yosemite National Park, Labor Day weekend (Friday-Monday September 3-6th, 2004). Half Dome, Nevada Falls, Clouds Rest, Quarter Dome, El Capitan, the Redwoods all within reach. Hike, swim, bike, read, meditate, laze, you decide. The weekend will be fun and relaxing, with stimulating day hikes through scenery that inspired John Muir, Ansel Adams and countless generations of visitors! Evening activities include campfires, roasted marshmallows and Yosemite under starlight skies, need we say more? Drive up Friday, camp in a Yosemite valley campground Fri-Sat-Sun nights and head back on Monday. The campground has flush toilets and hot showers are available within walking distance for a fee. Most meals for Saturday and Sunday are included as is breakfast on Monday. Additionally, there are restaurants nearby. Note that you will need to bring and share tents, as we are limited in the number of tents that we can pitch at each campsite. In addition, severe bear restrictions are in place in Yosemite; our group will have access to a limited number of bear resistant storage boxes, thus there will be strict restrictions on items that you can bring up, such as ice-chests/food/toiletteries/anything that has a smell, all those items as well as the group's food will have to fit in those boxes... More information at http://www.nps.gov/yose/home.htm and when you sign up. All participants will be required to share in camping and food tasks. We expect this event to sell out rather quickly.
