A detailed description of the complete course, the USGS maps and type of compass required (with adjustable declination!) and the homework to be completed before the workshop are found in the GoGuide and at http://www.mountaineers.org/seattle/navigation. The two required 7.5’ maps (USGS Index and USGS Baring) may be purchased the evening of the workshop at the Clubhouse. Show up early (before 7 pm!) to prepare your maps and learn how to set your declination to 16 degrees east. Note that the workshop will take place at the current Mountaineer’s building at Magnuson Park, 7700 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle.

Students should sign up for one workshop and one field trip. You will receive more detailed information and a reminder for the course if you have a current e-mail address on file with the Mountaineers.

Remember, you must pay for the course before attending the workshop; and you must attend a workshop before participating in a field trip.
