Barbara Muir is leading this excursion, which sounds interesting -- and the camera isn't mandatory; you can think of it as an opportunity for sightseeing on Angel Island, without the usual rush to Finish The Hike. Bring lunch, water, money for carpool and ferry (and optional dinner afterward), sun & weather protection, the usual. For full details, see

Meet at carpool point #6.
I expect I'll go on this, even if it does mean missing the swap meet. The Angel Island trip is likely to be cheaper, and I'll only be bringing back digital photos, not more hardware....
Directions to LPSS carpool point #6 (Page Mill / 280 Park 'N Ride): Exit 280 onto Page Mill Road west (Los Altos Hills) in Palo Alto. The lot is next to the freeway. If looking for overflow parking, beware of the "No Parking" signs along Arastradero. Map: http://tinyurl.com/2tq9rk
