YOSEMITE & Marin Trips

## Key points from past trips.##

1- ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD IN CARS! (No bears on our trips, but we were told)

Bear + empty candy wrapper - 11 miles = Nearly Instant BEAR.

They WILL rip open a car like an empty soda can and the Park/Camp/school is NOT liable for damages, this WAS your warning.
Air out, vaccuum and Fabreeze your car beginning today to be safe. Eat in the cafe on the way.

2- We are guests of a camp on FEDERAL Land. Subject to the laws of the US Park Service, Break 'em and you go home, no refund, no appeal. Gravity and nature are not forgiving either.

3- "LEAVE NO TRACE" is the phrase for the week. You will need a large bandana to catch crumbs and carry your own pack. They eat group meals for lunch and each person is responsible for carrying part of the meal.

4- JOURNALS are REQUIRED for daily activities and research.

5- Meal Tickets at Crane Flat are for one sitting one serving, seconds are limited. Once we get to Curry Village, we have a limited time slot to eat at each meal, thirds are probably not even a possibility. Pretty open season on our return trip though. (Not as crowded)
