spring, 2009 San Jose City Hall's Falcon mom Clara has four chicks. A link to news and a live view of the nest can be found at: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/falcons/index.asp
 Only currently enrolled De Anza students can go on club events. People who want to go on an event between quarters must be enrolled in the following quarter. For example, to go on a spring break trip you need to be already enrolled in spring quarter. Faculty are subject to various rules depending on whether they are full time, ten month, part time, on sabbatical or Article 19 and should contact the club advisor well in advance of an event they want to participate in.
spring break, Saturday, April 4, 2009, 9 a.m. Monterey Bay Ocean Kayak Day Trip. $27 for Outdoor Club members, $30 other students. A great beginner's trip, with a lesson beforehand.
We launch at a beach on Cannery Row and go at least a mile to in front of the aquarium. We've always seen otters and seals. Optional hikes at spectacular Point Lobos reserve afterwards.
Most people use a single (one person) kayak, but there are also tandem (two person) kayaks. These are the kind of kayaks you sit on top of, not the kind you get your legs stuck in, so no special training or experience is required. People who know in advance who they would like to share a tandem with should sign up for one; if there are others available that day you can form partnerships when you get there.
 
After kayaking: we can have a group picnic at the shoreline tables in the park down towards the Coast Guard wharf if we bring food. There are restaurants, but they take awhile to get food, and then we'd run out of time for other activities. Many years we plan a short walk and a moderate hike at spectacular Point Lobos State Reserve, about 7 miles south.
Or you could bring/rent bikes or roller blades and use the shoreline city trails made especially for pedestrians and bikes.
We have been doing this trip for over twelve years. We've had a few people fall out of their kayaks in Monterey Bay. It's okay, because they were wearing lifejackets and there are always other kayakers, and maybe even a lifeguard, nearby on our trips to help. They all figured out how to get back into their kayak.
But it would have been easier to handle this if they had practice getting back into a kayak. So now we are offering everyone who signs up a chance to come down to the De Anza pool in their swimsuit, put on a lifejacket and under the watchful eye of a lifeguard, figure out how to climb back into a kayak from the water. (The pool is heated, Monterey Bay is not.) It's not that difficult with helpful people in another kayak. Our quarterly kayaking/canoeing lesson is the main time to try this.
Please be on notice that the Outdoor Club will NOT be responsible for getting you back into your kayak if you fall out in the ocean during the Monterey trip. YOU will be. The Coast Guard can charge $500+ for a rescue. If you fall out of your kayak and can’t get back in and need a Coast Guard boat to come get you, De Anza will not pay for it, you will. There will be people nearby who will help steady your boat, but it would be smart to try it in the warm De Anza pool before it happens in the cold ocean.
It would be wise to read a bunch of other details (including what to wear) and rules about the trip before signing up.

horseback riding in Saratoga, a few minutes from the campus. A "guided horseback ride through Cooper-Garrod Vineyards and the Fremont-Older Mid-Peninsula Open Space Preserve on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains facing San Jose... trails wander through vineyards and oak chaparral forests teeming with wildlife ... at a thousand foot elevation, featuring the spectacular views of San Francisco Bay and Santa Clara Valley."
The Karate Club plays paintball, outdoors, regularly and Outdoor Club people join them. (spring? quarter-- date TBA by the Karate club)
read about the field of play at:
http://sequoiapaintball.com/index.html
Minors (players must be at least 13 years old) must bring signed waivers or have a parent at the field to sign them in. Download and read the waiver at:
http://sequoiapaintball.com/nsera.pdf
De Anza has rules that
include not using alcohol or drugs and the paintball company has lots of safety rules.
The Karate club will not take advance payments, you will pay at the field. You will need to download a copy of the required De Anza release at:
release form and get it to Pete Rabbit's (advisor to the Karate Club) mailbox before the trip to be 'signed up' for the event. Please clearly print your email and phone number on the form so he can contact you if plans change. A description of how to find the drop box for faculty mailboxes is at:
How to get a message to a De Anza instructor
Interesting weather does not cancel paintball events.
Carpools and caravans are on your own, neither the Karate club nor the Outdoor Club arranges carpools or pays for gas, parking, lunch, etc.
--The concessioner gives a safety briefing before play. Please pay complete attention to it. People who arrive late must have the
safety briefing before playing and come into a later game.
Friday, May 15 the cables went up on Half Dome.
Once or twice or more a year (Sunday, May 17, 9 A.M.) Beginner's surfing lesson by professional instructors (usually at Cowell's beach in Santa Cruz). Soft long board
and wetsuit rental included. Almost everyone who takes the
lesson has never surfed before and has a blast.
 
Cost:
$85 for club members or other students, the usual rate for a group lesson, with
1) a credit towards a future trip within one year of $10 for members if we get 6 or more paid signups who attend the event on time,
OR 2) a credit towards a future trip within one year of $15 for members or $5 for other students if we get 11 or more paid signups who attend the event on time
OR 3) a credit towards a future trip within one year of $20 for members or $10 for other students if we get 16 or more paid signups who attend the event on time (The trip will be canceled if we don’t get at least 3 signups.)
No refunds for no-shows or people who arrive after the lesson has started, or who are late and can’t find us if we need to move to another beach because of water conditions or lack of waves. Interesting weather (rain, etc.) does not cancel Outdoor Club events.
The lessons are limited to 25 people and you must
sign up and pay in advance. Cost includes instruction, wetsuit and soft long board rental. It's an all-sand bottom
so you don't need booties, but you can rent them if you want.
We've done this at least yearly for over ten years. Some people really don't stand up and surf, but everyone at least gets a few
rides kneeling. The instruction is excellent and a lot of laughs. We start with a full lesson on the beach,
including surfing right-of-way, etiquette, surf break awareness, wave formation, and practice standing up/proper stance on the boards.
Then the instructors go out in the water
with us and help people who need it.
Yes, you will fall off the board numerous times, but so will everybody
else.
If you can't figure out on your own how to stand up on the board, some of the instructors are able to balance on a moving surfboard while helping you to stand upon your surfboard:
To participate in the surfing lessons you must pass a swim test: jump into minimum 14-foot deep water,
before you surface swim two full body lengths underwater, surface and tread water (not a flutter kick) for thirty
seconds, then swim a minimum 35 yards head-up crawl or head-up breaststroke (all this without stopping).
Instead of taking the swim test, you can provide a current Red Cross or YMCA lifeguard card or scuba
certification or a note from a De Anza swim instructor that shows you are enrolled in a deep water swim class (not deep water running) when you sign up to prove that you can swim.
Times to take the swim test (at the De Anza pool, ask for Mary Donahue) and sign up for the surfing lesson are (unless a lifeguard is not available):
(swim test and sign up) Wednesday, May 6 or May 13 between 10 a.m. and 11:10 a.m., Saturday, May 9 or May 16 between 10 a.m. and 11:20.
(sign up only -- if you do not need to take the swim test because you have a current lifeguard card, etc. to show us), Friday, May 8 12:45 to 1:15 in S75, Saturday, May 9 between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. in PE 12U.

August 6, 2009 full moon and prenumbral lunar eclipse
a summer three night weekend, Thursday August 6 to Sunday, August 9, 2009, camping, hiking, kayaking at Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite .
$25 club members, $35 other students for csmping, extra if you want to kayak and can't transport a kayak.
Since we were not able to get a large group campsite the trip signups will be limited to club volunteers until Saturday, July 25.
The book Yosemite Wildflower Trails says this about Tuolumne: "Those who know it best will tell you that here the Sierra attains its ultimate perfection of mountain grandeur. Near the source of eternal snows on the peaks, icy streams flash down the mountain slopes to linger a while in the grassy meanders or lush meadows, trailing garlands of wildflowers along their banks. Many lakes, from the smallest of rocky tarns to those filling ancient glacial valleys, lie in grass-rimmed splendor reflecting the sky, the clouds and the crags."
We plan to take a day (Saturday) go to the top or near the top of Mount Hoffman (10,850'), the geographical center of the park. This does not require rock climbing skills, but does require an early start to miss possible afternoon thunderstorms.
We will be bringing the De Anza owned kayaks and plan to be out on Tenaya Lake for Friday ( or possibly Saturday) morning sunrise sightseeing, races, or...? (No kayaking experience is needed.) We also plan to continue the lifetime quest for the perfect swimming hole. (The Dana and Lyell forks of the Tuolumne River come down from the peaks and meet near the campground, then the river winds through the meadow.) The Tuolumne Rangers do very good nature walks and the climbing school is based in Tuolumne in the summer. There's a stable with two-hour, half day and all day trail rides, but please try to get a reservation in advance, people on previous trips have been disappointed who tried to sign up when they got to Tuolumne. Stargazing at Tuolumne is great.
People must sign up in person in advance .
We have a limited number of kayaks, so it's first-signed-up, first dibs on a kayak. Unless we have a small turnout, you must share a kayak.

August 15 and 16 many National parks, including Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings Canyon, Death Valley, Lassen, Pinnacles, Muir Woods, and the San Francisco Maritime Park's Hyde street pier, will not be charging an entrance fee. http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm
Saturday, August 15, 2009, 5:45 a.m. or earlier, the Alcatraz Sharkfest mile and a half + swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco needs volunteers (lifeguards or not) in kayaks to help the off-course or cold swimmers. People who have experience with us on our spring break Monterey trip have enjoyed this, but it is not an official Outdoor Club event.
People must sign up in person in advance with the race (not with the Outdoor Club) to be able to get a kayak free from the race.
Details and pictures of this race, which De Anza people have volunteered at for seven years are at: Escape from Alcatraz 'Sharkfest' swim volunteering, Sharkfest 2004 lifeguarding
and Sharkfest 2003 lifeguarding

Only currently enrolled De Anza students can go on club events. People who want to go on an event between quarters must be enrolled in the following quarter. For example, to go on a late summer trip you need to be already enrolled in fall quarter. Faculty are subject to various rules depending on whether they are full time, ten month, part time, on sabbatical or Article 19 and should contact the club advisor well in advance of an event they want to participate in.
 September (4 to 12 +/-) 2009, Grand Tetons, Wyoming trip
(Who goes on this kind of out-of-state road trip? Eleven students were signed up for the 2008 trip, 5 women and 6 men, ages 17, 19, 19, 19, 20, 22, 24, 28, 29, 29 and 38.)
Club members work fundraising to subsidize this huge adventure to have money for gas for the kayaks and gear to be transported to the park. (Rentals are $50 for 24 hours. If we kayak part of four days we save $200 per boat.)
 We will have four or five or six official kayaking days suitable for beginners and plan to do a short to major all-day (your choice of distance, with or without a Ranger Naturalist), hike into Cascade Canyon. Most trip participants usually do all the standard Grand Tetons sightseeing and museum tours. Some have gone white-water rafting or on a horse-back ride on their own.
The official days of the 2009 trip will be September 4 or 5 to 11 or 12. Participants can stay for a shorter, longer or much longer trip. Usually people go to Yellowstone National Park as well.
Very early morning flat water kayaking, with no experience necessary for at least one of the destinations. Some early starts (up at 5 a.m.) to be able to see animals.
 
Unlike most mountain ranges which have foothills, the Grand Tetons are fronted by vast expanses of land dotted with intimate-sized or massive lakes, then the mountains abruptly rise from the plain. They are rugged and craggy with some snow and glaciers on top year 'round.
The first aspen will be turning yellow, enough for some great pictures. Hawk and other bird migrations going through.
Probable sightings of elk, moose (7 feet tall, 9 feet long with 5 feet wide antlers), Canada geese "v"s. Possible sightings of great blue herons, trumpeter swans (8' wingspan; mate for life), American white pelicans, northern river otters (we saw seven while out kayaking in 2002 & 2003, four stealing a fish from a Bald Eagle in 2004 and a different three on a 2008 hike), pronghorn (can run 30 mph for 15 miles with spurts up to 70 mph), deer, coyotes and beavers or muskrats.
Elk bugling (a low bellow followed by a higher-note-than-the-first-soprano-faculty-advisor-can-reach whistle that carries a long distance) will be at its peak, with the largest bulls amassing harems and the younger ones trying to. We've heard coyotes and even wolves when out in the morning or evening.
People must sign up in person in advance .
We have a limited number of kayaks, so it's first-signed-up, first dibs on a kayak. Unless we have a small turnout, you must share a kayak. If we have a huge turnout, everybody can't be out at once unless the late signups rent craft there.

September 27, 2009 film The National Parks, America's Best Idea comes to PBS
January 29 to January 31, 2010, TWENTIETH ANNUAL Yosemite Valley Winter Camping trip.Non-club members pay $10 extra. The cost depends
mostly on parking space needs since the sites hold six people but only two cars (free
day-use parking is a short walk or a free daytime bus ride).
Here is the price breakdown for members, other students add $10.
(Membership is $15 for 365 days, and you get free equipment rental with an additional $15.
The club owns great winter tents and insulating sleeping pads.)
$23 --drive by yourself and want a parking space AT the campsite
(no problem--you just pay more)
$13 per person--for two people, one car in a campsite parking space
$10 per person--for three or more people, one car in a campsite parking space or for any
number of people who will drop off their stuff at the site and park at day use.
p.s. We will not make arrangements for motor homes, and please no pets.
   
Example: Two people want to travel together and bring tons of stuff (extra clothes, futons,
firewood, and a large-capacity battery powered capuccino machine), so they need their own
parking space. Cost: $13 per club member. ($23 other students.)
Example: Carpool in a big van with three or even eight or more people in it
OR example: Three people each drive their own cars because they have different arrival and
departure times. They plan ahead and make spare door keys for the biggest car and park it
at the site, with all their gear in it, and park the extra cars at day use. Cost: $10 per club
member. ($20 other students.)
Other costs to plan for, not covered in your payment to the club, include FOOD, GAS, potential meals eaten at restaurants (a lot of us go to the fabulous Ahwahnee brunch on Sunday after the trip is over -- for $58 (2009), a little change for the laundromat to dry some damp clothes, ski/snowboard costs (there are rentals and lessons at the Yosemite ski resort), skate rentals and/or ice rink fee, postcards,
t-shirts and other souvenirs. You can rent winter boots at home before the trip. Film is usually cheaper at home; bring more than you think you'll want. If you are an Outdoor Club member and you rent equipment from us (great tents, insulating sleeping pads) you'll need to make refundable cleaning/late fee deposits.
Park entrance fees are: (as of early 2009) $20 per vehicle, good for seven days, or a year-long Yosemite Pass for $40, or a year-long National Parks pass $80. The longer passes might be a good buy if you are going on other adventures. If you are riding in a carpool bring your share of gas, park entrance fee, etc. money.
The club has a large firewood supply, dining canopies and more IF people will transport them.

For details about the trip including links to ski/snowboard/ice skate/photo walk info, lists of gear to bring, first-timer's instructions,
carpool info/chains/driving directions go to: Snow Camp
Don't forget - when you sign up you will
need to show us your rain gear and explain what you are doing about boots, tent and
sleeping bag.
People must sign up in person in advance .
HOW TO FIND US to sign up for an event
August 2010 or 2011, we intend to go camping at D. L. Bliss State Park at Lake Tahoe and kayaking in Emerald Bay again.
The main activity on this trip will be an all day eight-mile round trip kayak along the lake shore and into Emerald Bay. You must have long distance kayaking experience with the club to participate, which even beginners can get on our spring break ocean kayak day trip to Monterey. OR you can go on a shorter orientation to the kayaks and pass a swim test of 20 twenty-five yard laps of freestyle or breastroke in 15 minutes or less.
For Tahoe kayaking we all paddle in one large group that stays together.
People must sign up in person in advance .
We have a limited number of kayaks, so it's first-signed-up, first dibs on a kayak. Unless we have a small turnout, you must share a kayak.
We can fit 50 people camping, but only have kayaks for 20. Cost in 2005 was $35 for members who kayak and camp, $45 for other students who kayak and camp, $15 for members who only camp and $25 for other students who only camp. $20 of the kayak and camp fee will be credited towards a future club trip, within one year, for those who help with any needed kayak loading/unloading before, during and/or after the trip.
This price compares well to local Tahoe companies that offer kayak day trips for $65 to $85 (3 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours).
We have space for eight vehicles at the site, so the eight largest carpools can park at the campsite, all others must park at day use (a short walk from the campsite). Each vehicle must pay a park entrance fee ($5 daily??).
In 2005 we could have called this Carlos and Maria and Drushti and Greta and Joe and Grace and Wendy and Beverly and Leonora and Michael and Ashleyanne and Shannon and Gabriel and Sherry and Paul and Alan and Mary's excellent adventure.
Our ages were 16, 20, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 33, 44, 45, 52, 54, and 57, so you probably have no excuse that no one near your age is going.
For more information (and pictures) about this trip go to Tahoe trip
We aim for once a year if people are interested, some tight-squeeze caving, 4 to 5 hours of squirming, for a small number of people, first signed up gets to go. $15 club members, $20 other students.
Trip leader Dr. Marek Cichanski of De Anza's Geology Department says this about the trip:
"IXL is the standard 'beginner's cave' in the Bay Area, but this does not
mean that it will be an easy trip. If you've ever visited a 'show cave',
such as Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, or
one of the privately owned caves in the Sierra foothills above Stockton,
this will be a different experience. There will be essentially no walking
in the cave. It will consist of scrambling and crawling, sometimes in tight
spaces. The cave contains two notably tight spots, dubbed the Mantrap and
the Corkscrew. The trip leader (6'2", 200 lbs) was able to fit through
them on his first trip, but you wouldn't want to be much bigger than him,
and you won't want to attempt the trip if you don't enjoy tight spaces.
You'll want to wear clothing than can be thrown away after the trip if
necessary. You may be able to get the mud out, but it's not guaranteed.
Caving will give new meaning to the phrase 'ground-in dirt'. You'll want
volleyball-player-style pads for your knees and elbows (NOT hard-shelled
construction-worker-type pads), and gloves. Long pants, a long shirt, and
some additional insulation like a sweater or fleece jacket will be a good
idea, although keep in mind how dirty they will get. Coveralls are a great
way to go; used mechanics coveralls can sometimes be found at auto parts
stores. Lightweight hiking boots would make good footwear.
The Outdoor Club will be arranging for rental of helmets and headlamps from
the San Francisco Bay Chapter of the National Speleological Society.
Participants should each bring 2 additional flashlights each, for a total
of three independent sources of light. The trip is estimated to last
between four and six hours."
The size of the group for this trip is small and the event is first come, first served. You must sign up with Dr. Marek Cichanski of De Anza's Geology Department and then pay the Outdoor Club. His office hours will be posted here nearer to the next caving date.

The search box below will search the WWW or only De Anza faculty websites, so you could use it to find something particular about the Outdoor Club at this website:
 The Outdoor Club is a completely volunteer organization, neither the officers nor the advisor are paid. As a result you will not get the same 'service' from us as from a professional group. We do not have the time to return phone calls or emails from people asking questions that they could have found the answers to by simply looking through this website. We can't always find a way to sign up people who can't make it to our regular meetings, to a class when we are there, or to a table we have on campus. People who wait until the last minute to sign up are sometimes left out. Please don't e-mail the club advisor (this website) as I don't have the time to answer club info requests.
