Trips are filling up make sure you sign up for upcoming trips before they fill up. We now have the photo galleries filled all the way back to 2010. Check out the frequently asked questions. The Yeti (our new box truck) is here and we need to give it some personality to match its name. We would like to hear your thoughts about the site and have any pictures you might have from any events. Now go out there and sign up, more hands makes easy work.
New opportunity: We are considering adding a trip including six people that will be in Yosemite helping with meadow restoration, campfire removal or weed abatement projects please let me know if anyone is interested.
Spring Giving Campaign is still going on.
