[Awclist] FW: GUIDES TRAINING SEMINAR IS FAST APPROACHING!!

[Mary Scofield]

Mary,
For those planning a Grand Canyon trip this year May - 2012 and those in 
2013 this might be a good time to check out some of the info available 
at this really cool meeting.
Pretty inexpensive weekend and it is near Marble Canyon at the Hatch 
Warehouse
Camping in the nearby BLM land w/ overlooks at the rim of the Canyon are 
an option
Food is great, informal setting but very well run - tight schedule they 
try to adhear to!
Info on the canyon, from various studies, nps folks and guides are a 
great intro to people there
programs presented are interesting (I liked day 2 especially) but also 
the venders that come, the movies shown, books and more at tables there 
are just a way of immersing yourself into many aspects of the Canyon 
that surround the trip you plan.
we have gone several years but not the last couple. it is also where I 
got involved in the adopt a beach program (many of you helped on this) 
that is apparently still on-going. although your trip is not a 
commercial one you may run into commercial trips and eventually be able 
to talk to the guides on a more personal level as you both vie for 
campgrounds at times. It is a nice comraderie.
Hope this helps and if appropriate you may forward to the awc 
list....which is how I wrote it up.
thanks - celia
