Yosemite Fall Colors - Camping Hiking Stargazing

Camping and Hiking in the heart of Yosemite - Yosemite Valley. Limited spots available.

Will reach out to shortlisted people with next steps. **Your spot is confirmed only after you confirm via Venmo/Zelle,** and there's no refund unless the trip is cancelled, so please commit accordingly. If someone can't confirm/pay within a couple of days, they will be back to No Go/WL. Same for anyone who hasn't provided the required level of details. * $45 - $60 pp for 2 nights (includes camping permit and firewood) * Prior camping experience is recommended * *\*\*Stay tuned for the Yosemite Firefall Camping event in February \*\** If your attendance is contingent on carpool or someone else's joining, just let me know in the RSVP answers.

We are going to spend the first chunk of the afternoon chatting one-on-one with other fans. The Gist IRL app takes the guesswork out by matching you up, giving us an easy way to talk football, trade predictions, and see who we really click with. Once the rounds wrap up, the best part starts. You get to pick the folks you had the best time chatting with and team up. We will grab a table together, order up some drinks and game-day snacks, and settle in to watch the game. By kickoff, you're sitting with an energized group of fellow fans to cheer on every play together. Whether this turns into your regular Sunday football watch crew or just an awesome afternoon of high-fives and touchdowns, it is going to be a blast. The Plan: - 4:30 PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone to get started. - 4:35 PM - 5:25 PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats.

Together, you will grab a table, order food and drinks, and settle in for kickoff together. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/WxizruzDuOxmxNyEIMJF **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**

Lake Merritt Loop: East Bay Morning Walk + Coffee ☕🌳

Hey hey, so thought it be dope to start a Saturday with an easy loop around Lake Merritt and some good company. No alarm stress and no gear needed 🌳 We'll meet near the Children's Fairyland sign at Lake Merritt (I'll post a photo of the exact spot in the event chat the day of). There's parking nearby, and BART is close for anyone coming from farther out. It's a chill 2 to 3 mile walk at an easy pace, think catching up on life, not chasing a PR. After the loop we'll grab coffee (or breakfast burritos, no judgment) at Equator Coffees, right across from the lake next to Whole Foods. Come solo or bring a friend, you'll fit right in. These walks are just as fun with 5 people as with 25, no awkward standing around, just moving and chatting. 🐕 Dog friendly 👟 All fitness levels welcome, walkers and joggers mix just fine ⏱️ About 2 to 3 miles, 1.5 hours total including the coffee hang 🅿️ Free parking nearby, and walk ups are always welcome RSVP so we have a rough headcount. See you there 👋

An Evening with Noah Siegel: When Primates Go Full Forager Mode

**\*\*Register [here](https://forms.gle/khFPU5JZiwGxfKi5A), NOT on Meetup:** [https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule)[**](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**) **Register [HERE](http://[https//www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk%5D(https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk) "\[https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule\](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule)")** Join Noah Siegel, Co-Author of California Guidebook, "Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast," in San Francisco for "Mycophagy in the Miombo: When Primates Go Full Forager Mode." Learn what mushrooms monkeys have been foraging in Tanzania. ***Mycophagy in the Miombo: When Primates Go Full Forager Mode*** Mycophagy is a widespread yet understudied component of primate foraging ecology, with roughly one quarter of primate species known to consume fungi. Despite this prevalence, little is understood about which fungal species primates target, the nutritional benefits they obtain, or the mechanisms by which they identify edible versus toxic taxa. In this talk, we will explore western Tanzania, and the ecological significance of fungal consumption by Chimpanzee, Yellow Baboon, and Red‑tailed Monkey, where fungi contribute approximately 4% of chimpanzee and red‑tailed monkey diets and 17% of baboon diets! November 12th, 6:30-8pm, in San Francisco All registrations must be completed on our website [here](http://[https//www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk%5D(https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk) "\[https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-mushroom-farm-tour\](https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-mushroom-farm-tour)") **About Fork In The Path** Fork In The Path offers transformational foraging experiences in California for the adventurous of all ages.
