Participants will meet at 7:45 a.m. at the home of Dale and Sue Shoemaker in Buena Vista. There will be an opportunity for a restroom break and to arrange carpooling for the drive, which will start at 8 a.m. There will be plenty of parking to leave vehicles at the Shoemaker’s home. Dale will lead us as we work down County Road 301, with frequent stops to survey the surroundings. Bathrooms should be available at the Ruby Mountain Campground, if we make it that far. If you would like to participate, email Dale Shoemaker at dale.shoemaker@gmail.com, and copy David at davidwbyford@aol.com and Betsy at betthane@gmail.com. Additional joining instructions will be provided to participants just before the event.
