Paul -

Your mention of the Diving Board, which I can't even remember, 
reminds me that I need some trip-planning references and tips if I'm 
going to visit Yosemite again now that I've moved back to California 
(Sonoma). If you have any tips or titles to suggest, I'd appreciate 
it.

When I was young, I had the Sierra Club hiking/climbing guides (and 
an Olympus 35 RC). But I gave those guides away w/o replacing them 
after I got turned off by management problems the NPS seemed to me 
unable to even defend itself against. Now I have the impression that 
they have begun to try to cope. I can't hike or climb much any more, 
but I'd like to try some off-season Yosemite photographic excursions 
which are more car-based than knee-based.

Thanks for any titles or tips you can conveniently e-mail me. All I 
have so far is Michael Frye's _The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite_ 
(2000, the Yosemite Association), which, except for logistics, seems 
to me good for starters.
