After you have registered and are confirmed with a spot, you can RSVP YES here. Please do not RSVP here unless you have already registered.

In response to some confusion, please note that registration for this workshop is only maintained by Point Reyes Field Institute and not by any Meetup group. The is the SAME workshop that is also listed on Photography with Harold Davis (https://www.meetup.com/Harold-Davis/events/90090282/) Once again, and all together now, you can only register for this workshop via Point Reyes Field Institute.

AFTER you have registered with Point Reyes (http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=234395), as one of the followers of this Meetup group please feel free let the rest of us know you are going by RSVP’ing here so we know who from THIS group is participating. Remember, this is not a complete list of attendees or part of the registration process---it is an option and you are just letting folk from this Meetup group know you are going.

PLEASE go to the Photography with Harold Davis (https://www.meetup.com/Harold-Davis/events/90090282/) site/event for any/all discussion so that we don't duplicate things here!

The workshop includes lodging (dorm style), 3 GREAT meals a day, instruction and on-site photography in one of the most interesting places in the world. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine trees - the oldest known living organisms on the earth are gnarled and bent by the fierce winter conditions and the slow growth of a short season.

Our home base will be the Crooked Creek Research station (http://www.wmrs.edu/facilities/cc/default.htm) a mere 3 miles from Patriarch Grove of trees and just a few air miles from Bishop California (though it's a one hour drive!)

Cost: $800 per person includes dormitory style lodging and meals, not including travel costs.

NOTE: On line sign up (http://www.ptreyes.org/fieldinstitute/classlistphotography.shtml) is closed, however you can call and ask to be placed on the waiting list.

NOTICE: Lodging is at high altitude - about 10,000 feet. The air is thinner and you may experience altitude sickness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness) ranging from minor to severe. The thinner air is most noticeable when you exert yourself.

Also note that there is 15 miles of unpaved road to travel from Schulman Grove where White Mountain road pavement ends to Crooked Creek Research station. A "low rider" car will definitely have trouble, but in the past regular passenger cars and mini-vans have come and gone just fine. There were two people who reported getting flat tires on the way out, though! Having a full sized spare is always a good idea!
