We have been contacted by Dave Nichols, Mojave National Preserve Archaeologist about an interesting project to help preserve the Historic Ghost Town of Providence. There is a possibility that during our October 23 Trail Guardian Event in the Preserve that we might send some people over to this site to assist.
If you are interested the contact info is at the bottom of this post.

Stone Masonry Repair Workshop III
Sponsored by Mojave National Preserve
and Cornerstones Community Partnerships
Preservation of the Historic Ghost Town of Providence
September 24-October 25, November 15-23
A one, two or three week long training experience is planned for continuing the repair and stabilization of stonework ruins of Providence using natural materials and traditional tools and methods. All stabilization work will comply with the Secretary of Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
The workshops will be led by Master Stonemason Alan Ash who has 40 years experience working on historic structures, including 75 on the National Register.
There is no charge for attendance and participants will be entitled to reimbursement of living expenses on site. Consideration will be given to assistance for gas expenses getting to and from the site. The training is suitable for those in the trade who want to hone their skills or for the beginner. Lifting stone is not required. Join Alan in a unique and beautiful remote location and be prepared to camp out or stay in Needles, CA. (over an hour away from the site.) A 4x4 with preferably high clearance is needed to navigate the rough back road to the site. Carpooling will be encouraged and organized if possible.
