March 2024 Mojave National Preserve Trail Guardian event.

Once NPS finalizes the projects, two Rally Points will come out with meeting/base camp locations. That should be within two weeks.

We will have at least two projects available, but it will all depend on how the RSVP list goes.

Project #1 Arrive in camp by evening March 21; project work March 22-24
  • Identifying dispersed campsites on the West and Center of the Preserve. This will be much like the October ‘23 event. Barclay Osborn will be the lead, and hopefully we can get the group leaders that we had last time.
Project #2 Arrive in camp by evening of March 22; project work is March 23.
  • Helping plant Joshua Trees in the Cima Dome burn scar. This is great for families/kids.

Project #3 (if we have enough people), Arrive in camp by evening March 22, project work March 23.
  • Go to Soda Lake and erase some more tracks from illegal off-trail driving. This is another one that’s good for kids to help out.
Also, to have a decent raffle on Saturday night, we need donations of raffle prizes. If you can donate something, or solicit a donation from a vendor local to you, please do so and let Kent know.

There will be two Rally Points one starting Thursday March 21 and the other Friday March 22.
Thursday RP; This group will be traveling around the preserve and documenting the dispersed campsites using a program provided by NPS. I have not decided on a Thursday base camp yet. I hope to have at least three groups and camp on their own Friday night. This is a repeat from our October event, I am hopping that we get some repeat members in order to keep the app instruction to a minimum.
Friday RP; This group will meet at 35.17543870893465, -115.46368284411209 Thomas Place at the main base camp by 1700 hrs Friday then travel out to the work locations Saturday.

Well damn, I'll be going out there, but for Easter weekend. If I had enough time to take off for both trips, I would join you. But, with limited time off, I have to pick my battles. So, Easter it is.
