We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... many of the snowbirds have arrived yet. Saw a small herd of wild burros on the way outside of Q'zite. They were the first wildlife we'd come upon in many- a-mile. Our site here at the Park is quite nice with lots of room to spread out and enjoy the weather here this winter.

... misleading; twentieth Century Americana is perhaps most apropos, even though a few of the images were older than that.
