It cost $10 to join in and learn how to use your GPS and be safe. The class has to have 4 club members and no more than 8. You will need a Garmin hand held GPS, compass and grid writer. The GPS classes will be held the Saturday after the meeting at Promack T.H. The classes usually run from 9AM until about 3PM. It’s a great class to take to be sure you understand how your GPS works and you can find your way around. At the March meeting it was talked about if someone were to go out by themselves to please call the AJ Search & Rescue to let them know where and how long they plan on being out in the desert hiking or prospecting, that way if something unforeseen happens they would have a good idea where to start looking for them. Roger came in with the phone number to call: it is 520-333-SSAR and leave a message, when they return please let them know so no one is out looking for someone that has returned safely.
