We're back from our three weeks in southern Nevada - we had an interesting trip, working contract for a consortium of land agencies to do field inventories of transportation routes. It was gorgeous and cold - I'm so glad to be back in the "tropical" desert!
Here are the details and instructions for our Tread Trainer course.
When: Saturday, December 29 - arrive by 9 am, course starts at 10.
Where: Ravenrock, our hideaway in the Sonoran Desert. Confirmed participants will receive map and GPS coordinates.
What to bring: Plan for a camping trip, we have a campsite near our main housesite for about 6 vehicles, plus a firering and a flush toilet. Dispersed camping nearby on the property.
- Bring your own food but we'll have a big fire for anyone who wants to grill.
- Bring your own water - we have a limited supply. Plus a skunk fell into it and died about 2 months ago.
- It could be chilly so plan for that. We'll have the class outside, if weather's bad we'll have a tent.
What to expect: The course will be discussion and maybe a little handson but mostly "classroom" for the day. Materials provided, but bring notebook and pens. Break up at 4:30-5 and head for the campfire.
On Sunday those who can join us we'll head out south of us for a nice trail run - maybe to Arivaca over the Cerro Colorados, have coffee at the Gadsden Coffee Company. Or maybe down to the Buenos Aires NWR.
What to do next: Email me your full contact information for Tread Lightly. Name, Organization if applicable, mailing address, phone and email. This is required, as you will be a Tread Lightly Trainer and will need to be in touch with the organization.

Kids and dogs welcome!
Lots of beautiful country to explore during the training day - we have some animal tracking kits for the kids to have fun with, and lots of tracks.
