Dear DPS
Membership:
Two years ago you may remember we voted not to add a new
emblem for playing around in the desert. The DPS should be for the serious
business of climbing peaks! So be it. There is now a new committee for those
who wish to play, visit sand dunes, ghost towns, mines, take short hikes and
enjoy campfires and pot luck dinners. Below are three trips sponsored by the
NEW - 'BACKROAD EXPLORERS" Committee. Theses 3 trips are for 4-WD only, however
some trips will be for 2-wheel drive also. Please join the fun, come on one of
these trips, we need passengers also!
