Octobers Trail Guardian Event in the Mojave is going to be a little more complicated to sign up for.
There will be two Rally Points, one for a three day dispersed campsite location and logging mission and one to install boundary signs with a no Side By Side information on them. The second RP one will also be for a track erasing project on the Soda Lake.
Everyone will still be in camp together on Saturday October 28th for the raffle. Base camp location has not been established yet, we are still waiting on some additional information from NPS.
I hope to get everything together for these two RP's by early next week.

Details will be messaged to the RSVP lists next week.
Project #1 is basically full. Remember this is a multi day event with some long travel days.
Project #2 could use a little more help. A couple of members from the Las Vegas crew will be helping plant Joshua Trees in the Cima Burn area.

Well another Mojave Trail Guardian is in the books and I must say it was the most ambitious and successful one to date. 46 members signed the volunteer roster.
Project #1, the plan was to treat this project like an overland trip over a couple of days, getting people out in teams to survey for dispersed camping sites. The teams were challenged by the app and data file provided by NPS but everyone adapted and made it work. 346 sites were recorded and downloaded into the NPS database.
Project #2, concentrated on replacing boundary signs around the preserve, these signs targeted illegal side by side use in the preserve. Once again the teams were challenged by data provided by NPS but in the end it was a success. Now if the side by side community will pay attention is another story.
Project #3, was to plant Joshua Trees in the Dome Fire burn scar, this is an ongoing project that our Las Vegas group has been working on diligently.
Saturday night we had a great presentation by Dave Nichols, Park Archaeologist. Dave is a huge supporter of our work in the preserve and a good friend of Overland Bound.
The raffle went off great, we had several members who donated items plus all the great swag from Overland Bound, the grand prize was a Gazelle tent
Our next event will be in April, exact date TBD.
Thank you everyone for all your hard work, you are Trail Guardian
