Join Clive's writing community on this leisurely mountain journey exploring California's beautiful, exotic eastern outback. Soak in Hot Creak, be awed by Tufa at Mono Lake, marvel at the Devil's Postpile, and swim in Parker Lake. Clive will lead three-hour morning writing workshops, guide writing walks and meditations as campers travel along Highway 395 between Bridgeport and Yosemite. Every afternoon will feature a new excursion, with writing exercises. Evenings will be enjoyed around the campfire, reading our stuff and telling tall tales. Cost includes transportation, workshop, hearty outdoor ranch-style meals, and tent accommodations. Come write, relax, and be inspired!

$950 ($750 for non-writers) hosted by Silver Beaver. Early Registration is encouraged so that Silver Beaver can respond to each camper's needs, including carpooling. Contact Heather Heppner at hepyosef@yahoo.com or 925-686-4894 .
