Field Trips



Wednesday, February 16th, 8:30am -- 4:00pm
LOOKING FOR TRACKS AND SIGNS
Leader: Bruce Thompson

Come and learn from an expert. Bruce will lead us off from Mirror Lake Highway above Kamas. This location features some of the widest variety of tracks and signs.

Our route will consist of deep, untrailed snow along uneven woodland, meadow and streamside appropriate to a mixed age and observant group, stopping to talk and explore frequently. Travel may at times be strenuous simply due to deep snow and terrain. People need to be FIT! Snowshoes only -- no skis. (The two don't mix well for large group tracking.) No dogs. Minimum age is 12.

Participants should bring: snowshoes (poles advised), layered clothing, well-insulated boots, a warm hat, warm gloves or mittens, sunglasses, ample water, lunch and snacks, a tracking field guide, a comfortable daypack.

Group size limited to 15. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS TRIP.

Call Sylvia Gray (532-3486) to register and to learn details of the meeting place





Field trips have to be planned well in advance.
Occasionally we have to cancel a trip, or location or times change.
Therefore it is important to confirm details with the leader.


Beginners and guests are always welcome on Audubon field trips.
