Poster Session:

Due to the large number of invited papers this year, most contributed papers will be presented in a poster session. Bulletin boards approximately 6 feet wide and 4 feet high will be provided for each poster presentation. Authors should plan on providing tacks or other hardware to attach their posters to these boards. Authors of poster session presentations will install their posters prior to the Monday afternoon social/poster session beginning at 4:00 PM.

General Information

Accommodations

Lodging is in modern two and three bedroom condominium style units with a shared bath clustered in several lodges. Most rooms open onto private decks with spectacular views of Fallen Leaf Lake and the Sierra Nevada. Every effort will be made to provide couples and families with private baths; however, this is not always possible. Requests for specific cabin-mates should be noted on the reservation forms.

Articles to Bring

Toilet articles Alarm clock

Flashlight Sturdy shoes

Casual clothes, sweaters, and jackets (snow is possible at the Camp level, weather in June is unpredictable and may be snowy or nice and warm). The Camp grounds may still be excessively moist and water resistant footwear is recommended.

NOTE: The atmosphere at the Camp and throughout the conference is casual and informal.

Recreational Facilities

Basketball, volleyball, tennis courts, horseshoes, beach and boats are available. There is no charge for the use of sailboats, canoes, rowboats and kayaks. Water-skiing can be arranged with advanced notice (rates given upon request). Beautiful and varied trails for hiking and lakes, and streams for fishing are close by. There will be guided nature hikes. Movies are being planned for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings.

Miscellaneous

Pets are not allowed at the Camp. No smoking in the lecture, dining or residence rooms. Liquor is not available at the Lodge, but guests may bring their own. Mixes are available at the bar. Vegetarian meals are available by special arrangement. Please contact the Local Arrangements Chair prior to arrival.

On Wednesday, rooms must be vacated by 10:00 AM. An extended coffee break is scheduled to allow participants to check-out without missing any of the technical presentations. The deadline for departing from the Camp is 1:30 PM.
 


Transportation
 

Airlines

Reno International Airport serves South Lake Tahoe via the Tahoe Casino Express shuttle bus to the terminus at Horizon Casino, a 1.5 hour drive.

Buses

Greyhound Bus Lines serve the Tahoe area.

Auto

From the Junction of U.S. Highway 50 and California Route 89 in South Lake Tahoe, take Route 89 for three miles, through Camp Richardson, to the road sign marked "Fallen Leaf 5." Make the next left turn, onto a road which narrows and winds its way to the lake. Drive approximately four miles to the lake, bearing straight/right at each of two intersections. After five miles, turn left, away from the Fallen Leaf Lodge and Marina, and then right over the bridge, which will take you into the Camp. Check-in on the second floor of the main lodge.

Courtesy Transportation Information

The Stanford Sierra Camp offers courtesy transportation for its guests from the following locations:

South Lake Tahoe Greyhound Bus Station: Meet outside the main entrance.

From the Reno Airport: Guests should ride the Tahoe Casino Express ($17.00) shuttle bus to the terminus at the Horizon Casino in Lake Tahoe. The Camp will provide transportation from the shuttle drop-off to the Sierra Camp. If you are interested in this service, please note the following: Pick-up will be available from noon to 6:00 PM on Sunday, June 7. Return trips will be offered on Wednesday, June 10 and will be arranged at the Camp.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To sign up for this courtesy transportation, you must contact the Stanford Sierra Camp at (916) 541-1244 [Fax: (916) 541-2212]. Alternatively, you may sign-up using the Camp website (address below). When you arrive in Reno, you must call the Camp (916) 541-1244, to confirm with them your anticipated arrival time in Lake Tahoe if you plan to use the Courtesy Transportation Service.

NOTE: The following website addresses have been changed from those listed in the previous flyer. The addresses listed below will access the websites.
