Sign up now for the April 17th project.

Project Details: TBD

Not sure of the project yet. Ken Stowel mentioned that the project may be on Sunday instead of Saturday. I will know more in a few days. We will NOT be camping in Yellow Pines. We will probably have 3 campsites in Upper Pines.

How this Works:
A few days prior to the weekend, I will send you a gate pass for free admission to the park, along with information on the location of our campsite. We will start work at 9 a.m. Saturday and finish near 3 p.m. The work will be such that you can work at your own pace, and the NPS will provide all required tools.

You're free to do as you like after we complete the project. Some people will go climbing while others may go for a hike.

Please be awake by 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and ready to leave no later than 8:30. It does take a while to eat, clean up and get ready to work.

Previous Projects:
Previous projects can be viewed in the Gallery.

Work Gear:
Please bring proper shoes to work in (NO TEVAS OR SANDALS). Tennis shoes are OK, hiking boots are better. The park service should have plenty of gloves too, but if you have your own, bring them. Also, be prepared to bring a lunch and some water. We usually take a break around noon and eat.

Weather:
The weather in Yosemite can change within a few hours. Please be prepared for it.

Camping:
This information will be provided to you with the Yosemite Gate Pass when you sign up. The Yellow Pines campground has two 'comfort' stations and water is provided. All food MUST be kept in the bear-proof boxes located in each campsite. Updates: Check this page or the web site at http://www.pgvip.net for some updates and other details.

sorry to miss the April 17 project

Sorry, I will not be able to attend the April 17, 2010 trip. I will be doing 4 days of construction in Oakland for Habitat for Humanity. Green building to celebrate Earth Day!

carpool anyone?

Hey guys,

I don't have a car, so I'd need to carpool with someone else. Either from somewhere in the city or from a BART/Caltrain accessible location. Anyone got room for one more?

Please shoot me an email if you do:
canrane@yahoo.com

Thanks!
