From the Protectors of Tule Springs:
HI everyone:
It is that time of year and bearpoppies are blooming!!
I am scheduling TWO walks. One on Saturday April 14th and the other on the 21st. We will meet at 8:30AM!!
Limit of 25 people per walk and NO children under the age of 10 please. (this is to comply with our insurance). Everyone will need to sign a liability release before walking that morning.
We will meet at the corner of Aliante Parkway and Grand Teton. (northern 215 beltway, off on Aliante Parkway and go toward mountains until you come to Grand Teton)
There will be a POTS member there to open the gate on your right. You will drive down the finished Grand Teton road to the meeting spot. From there we will head onto the BLM land for a 2 mile round trip walk over ROUGH desert terrain. The bearpoppies are very close, then on to the mammoth site.
BE SMART:
1. BRING LOTS OF WATER
2. WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES
3. SUNSCREEN AND HATS
4. KNOW YOUR LIMITS
It is possible that snakes will be emerging from their dens so watch where you step (we have never seen one, but they are out there), bees are a possibility etc.
Please RSVP which date you would like space and how many people. The sooner the better. We will fill up fast.
Thanks

Also of note, the BLM has released a decision on the proposed boundaries of the Upper Las Vegas Wash site although no legislation has yet been submitted for making the area a fossil beds national monument. Hmm. You’d think some of those Senate-wannabes would try to nab some Nor’Town votes by putting in some time on the issue. Nice write up about the site appeared in the National Parks Traveler. Oh, and in some rag called the Las Vegas Sun.
