Our final preparations occur this month. If you have not started putting together your gear for the trip, it is time to start. Most gear from the lending area is gone with the exception of a few pair of womens' boots and some rain ponchos. Please review the meeting slides from February 3 under Meeting Notes to review some options for purchasing your gear. Students and chaperones at school will start wearing hiking boots daily starting FEBRUARY 17, 2011.
We are starting the final review and reconciliation of all the medical paperwork including notes on special dietary needs. We will be sending this preliminary package to Yosemite in the next couple of weeks so that they can start preparing for our group.
Now that we have the cabin cards assigned, we will start the configuration of rotations and hiking groups. The assignments will not be finalized until all medical information has been reviewed. Please ensure that all medical and medication paperwork is up to date and in our hands as soon as possible. Nothing will be posted until after the February break.
