But, any word on when this might be? I'm trying to nail down some dates, so I can reserve a spot at Kartchner Caverns and figure out the rest of my schedule.

Thanks,

We're going to be out of town until mid-December . . . so not before Dec. 18.

I just looked at a calendar, and it's one of those years where Christmas falls just after a weekend, so I think it will have to sort it out after that one.

What is everybody doing over New Year's?

A Tread Lightly - New Year's camping trip in southern Arizona?

I am off work the weekend before new years but I am covering the 31st and 1st at the hospital so others can have the time off...I am not a big years party person so I would rather collect the holiday pay and let others play...
I am also free from the 3rd on in case anyone else has post new years time off

December 29 and 30 - Tread Lightly in Southern AZ

Checking on dates: we're zeroing in on Dec 29 (Saturday) course and Sunday Dec 30 trail drive.

Camping at our place.

Headcount please?

That way we can see if this is a go for sure.

Date is set! Dec 29 and 30, southern Arizona

We are setting the date! Scott Brady, Master Trainer for Tread Lightly, will be giving us this excellent all-day class. We're so lucky to have Scott give his time for this . . . so make time, move schedules, make it happen!

What: Tread Trainer certification from Tread Lightly. You become certified to give informational seminars about Tread Lightly; certification good for 2 years, you have to give a certain # of seminars and keep them up to date.

Where: Ravenrock Camp (aka Hanson's place in southern Arizona, 40 miles more or less southwest of Tucson . . . we'll send directions / track files / coordinates to final attendees).

When: Saturday, December 29, 10 am class starts. About 8 hours.

Fee: Not sure if there will be a materials fee . . . stay tuned. The class itself is free.

Accommodation: Camping in the beautiful Sonoran Desert wilds. Bring your own food, we'll arrange a fire/bbq for Saturday night.

Fun: Sunday we'll head south into the wildlands toward Mexico and have a very beautiful day's drive toward the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, through the Cerro Colorado Mountains.

Please sign up here - we can fit a lot of campers but you do need to be self-sufficient, our septic up at our house can't handle more than just us, and we'll have some rules about where you can dry-camp so we don't have any, um, outhouse use near our well !

Fantastic, bring the family - we'd love to have them! There are LOTS of places for them to walk/hike and explore while we have the class. I will give you one of our animal tracking kits and they can go out an trace tracks and record them . . . bring some plaster of paris, I have kits to make molds of animal tracks. They might also see deer and coyotes.

Maybe we can recruit a few other families.

For about 5-6 vehicles, our lower Camp has a flush toilet in a nice outhouse ;-)

Very cool! I would like to sign up if there is still room. Lots of folks were onto this thread before me, but if I can join up....

Thanks for offering the training!

Are there any prerequisites?
