While enjoying the beauty of the Yosemite backcountry, learn route finding using map and compass, establishing a camp while employing minimal impact practices, the basics of packing light (you'll carry no more than 35 lbs.), outdoor cookery and menu planning, natural history and personal safety. Course includes group cooking equipment, tents, safety equipment, breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners, hot drinks, wilderness permits, permit fees, professional guide, instruction and pre-trip informational support in one of my all-time favorite places.  All courses cover the <A HREF="id262.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Backpacking">core curricullum</A>. </div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id123.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Testamonials">Testamonials</A>.  </FONT>Cost:   $600.00  for REI members.  <A HREF="http://www.rei.com/adventures/trips/weekend/ca_yose_wend.jsp#sec1" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.rei.com/adventures/trips/week"><B>Book this trip!</B></A><B> </B> or call REI:  1-800-622-2236.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>2009 Schedule:  Courses held in Yosemite National Park :</B></div> <div> <B>Note: Last year all these trips sold out early (like April) </B></div> <div> <B>and there are only so many weekends in a summer to add on more trips. </B></div> <div> <B>Reserve early so not to be disappointed.</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="404" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=4 BGCOLOR=#C0C0C0 HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="380"><div> <B>Yosemite Creek Itinerary</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> <B>June Trips</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>June 11-14</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>June 18-21</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>June 25-28</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="404" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#330000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#777777" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=4 BGCOLOR=#BBBBBB HEIGHT= 30 WIDTH="388"><div> <B>High Country Itinerary</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 31 WIDTH="106"><div> <B>July Trips</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="82"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="82" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="103"><div> <B>July 16-19</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER><NOBR><div> <B>July 23-26</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#BBBBBB HEIGHT= 33 ><NOBR><div> <B>August Trips</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#BBBBBB WIDTH="82"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="33" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="82" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#BBBBBB><NOBR><div> <B>Aug. 13-16 </B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#BBBBBB><NOBR><div> <B>Aug. 20-23</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 33 WIDTH="106"><div> <B>Sept.
