North Rim of the Grand Canyon 2020 Sierra Club Service Trip

Notice: This is a *private* site, solely for people signed up for the above trip. Please do not publish this URL to others not on this trip. Thanks.

This page and attached documents are for YOUR use. This is the tenth year I have set up a specific page for each of my service trips. It has worked out well in the past and allows a single point on the web to find out everything about this trip.

My suggestion for using this site:

1. Check out the trip roster

2. Then the other trip documents, specifically the trip letters
    (they should answer a lot of questions),

3. Then finally (when you get some time to surf),
    check out the archaeology issues,
    the trip links to other sites, and
    my totaly random but relevant reading list.
