Short Description of Activity
We invited 2 representatives from SUWA to speak to our group of 10 SSJ Broads. We camped 3 nights and explored 2/3 days. Lots of fun and camaraderie.
Reflection/Evaluation
The objective was to introduce Bears Ears to more Broads. Rose was the hike leader and we saw several archaeological sites. Nicole and Kaya gave brief explanations of what SUWA does and encouraged us to be more involved. Kaya is Colorado organizer we told her we would gladly accompany her when she makes an appt. with Bennet and Hickenlooper to save and increase Utah Wilderess.
