Flagstaff Chapter Summer Field Trip: Saturday July 10, 2010 Hops, Stops and Rocks - Hydrology, Geology, and Volcanology of the Mormon Lake area (flyer)

Remember the good ol’ days…when AHS put you on a bus with your best buddies, took you to interesting sites and talked hydrology all day long, while keeping you properly hydrated? Well, the Flagstaff Chapter would like to offer something similar this summer. You can now reserve your spot for the Flagstaff Chapter Summer Field Trip. Together, Dr Richard Holm, Volcanologist and NAU Geology Faculty Emeritus, and Dr. Abe Springer, Hydrologist and NAU Geology Professor, will take us to the best kept secrets in the region, presenting hydrology, structure, and volcanology from vistas and at outcrop. Dr. Holm said that he will even talk petrology, for enthusiasts; don’t be caught off guard, come prepared! The field trip costs $25 for members, and $30 for non-members, and includes van transportation from Mormon Lake, lunch, beverages, and, of course, hops at each stop. We will meet near Mormon Lake at 9:30 am (departing at 10:00 am), and return by 4:00 pm.

Following the field trip and before dinner at 6:30, you can relax at the camp site we will have established, play some horseshoes, or engage in the quarterly Corporate Board Meeting! Dinner is catered BBQ from Flagstaff’s delicious Big Foot BBQ. Pulled Pork and Pulled Chicken Sandwiches, Tater Salad, Cole Slaw, BBQ Beans, Green Garden Salad, Cornbread and Cobbler, plenty of drinks, and continued libations. Cost for dinner is $15 for members, $20 for non-members, and $5 for Kids. If you choose to set up camp with us (free) you can opt for bagels, spreads, and juice the next morning for $5. Mormon Lake Lodge is also an option for breakfast. The camping will be “rustic” but we are going to provide some sort of a private toity! If you would like to be more cozy consider the cabins at Mormon Lake Lodge. They also offer RV and camp sites with facilities. www.mormonlakelodge.com. Book now as these fill up quick! Please RSVP by Wednesday June 30. Call (928) 606-8422 or Email Erin Young eyoung@flusol.com.

While we really do trust your word, we still need a check (payable to Arizona Hydrological Society) or cash by June 30 to completely guarantee and hold your spot. Please mail to: Erin Young 1055 Hano Trail Flagstaff, AZ 86001.

Stay tuned for a map of our campsite and a field trip itinerary.  We hope to provide this information by June 14.


Zuni Basin Fossil Field Trip Summary: May 1st, 2009

The Flagstaff Chapter along with assistance from Erin Young, Fluid Solutions, & Richard Brose, Four Corners Environmental, of the Flagstaff Chapter coordinated a field trip to a very unique spot in northeastern Arizona to examine real life dinosaur fossils!

Surface Water Issues Workshop – Great Success!

The Phoenix Chapter’s second Technical Session was held on May 15, 2008 at ADWR. We had an excellent, highly informative day with nearly 70 attendees! Our primary beneficiary, 2008 Herman Bouwer Intern, Cheri Topel, was also in attendance and provided assistance with the day's event. Thanks in part to our sponsors, ADWR, Arcadis, EEC, EL Montgomery & Associates, Golder Associates, Lewis & Roca, and PBS&J, Cheri's intern stipend is more than adequately funded!

We’d like to thank our sponsors, speakers, and participants for a supremely successful event. We look forward to another technical seminar in the near future.

We would also like to send special thanks to all our AHS volunteers who made this event happen. In particular, we'd like to thank Lee-Anna Walker for spearheading this effort and Matt Beversdorf for coordinating with ADWR and maintaining our website for the event. If you see Lee-Anna or Matt, please express your thanks.
