    2005 Outdoor Adventure catalog enclosed! A JOURNAL FOR MEMBERS OF THE YOSEMITE ASSOCIATION Fall 2004 Volume 66 Number 4 Restoring a Bridge to the Past A Message from the President ave you seen the new Yosemite Association web cam that was installed recently below Sentinel Dome? The camera looks straight across at Half Dome and beyond to the Tuolumne high country. Views during the mid- October storms were really spectacular. Thanks to Vance Kozik and his associates at StarDot Technologies for donating the web cam and related equipment to our organization. I almost forgot. The address for the new “Sentinel Cam” is http://www.yosemite.org/vryos/sentinelcam.htm. While viewing live images of Yosemite over your computer may be entertaining, there’s nothing better than Hexperiencing the park in person. Make your next park visit a special one by participating in a Yosemite Outdoor Adventure course sponsored by YA. In this journal we’ve included the 2005 catalog that’s full of educational, stimu- lating, and (in some cases) challenging opportunities to better know your park. Members receive a 15% discount off course fees, and you can sign up online at www.yosemitestore.com. In this column I regularly brag about the amazing work done by YA volunteers every year in the park. We’re not the only ones who have noticed what a great job our volunteers are doing and how much they contribute to Yosemite. In August, long-term volunteer Virginia Ferguson was named winner of the thirteenth annual Yosemite Fund Award for her efforts as an “unsung hero.” She is certainly deserving of this recognition, and when she Cover: Wawona accepted the award, Virginia noted that she was sharing the honor with the hundreds of other YA volunteers.
