Those planning on traveling to Jackson Hole for the Alumni trip need to send

Sat. night and have a group dinner in downtown Jackson.

The Spotted Horse Ranch will pick us up around mid-day on Sun. Sept 13 (along with any alcohol we want to bring) in Jackson Hole at the hotel for the ride to the ranch(~40 min.). We will stay at the ranch until the conclusion of the probe on Thurs. Sept. 17.

This place has a lot to offer, so check it out at
http://www.spottedhorseranch.com/ The ranch staff says they can accommodate
30 people without out making special arrangements.

So space is limited. If you want to reserve your "spot", get your money ($900) to Holbrook to get your space reserved for BOMSAA Wilderness Probe 2009. We are also working on arrangement through the ranch for partial day trips to Yellowstone and "old faithful"
