| Ancient Rock Art Stories | Sat Oct 12 | Slide Show | Harland Soper | Ancient Rock Art Stories: Tales written in a symbolic language about families, cultures, the Universe and Nature. With our collective imaginations in hand, we 'll journey together through the canyons and high desert landscapes of New Mexico to learn about the ancient cultures of our ancestors who left their stories behind in their rock art. These petroglyph etchings will reveal their lives within nature. We 'll learn their stories from the perspective of our current day native American neighbors and our neighbors on other continents across our shared world. Were they no different than us? Asking the same questions ... Who am I? Where did I come from? What does this world around me mean? Join me on this journey and don 't forget to bring your imagination. |

| Skiing the Haute Route | Sat Oct 19 | Slide Show | Andy Krumpe | Chamonix France to Zermatt Switzerland In 2018 my wife and I participated in an alpine ski tour of the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt. During the 6 days of skiing we stayed at 5 alpine huts, crossed 13 glaciers, 12 cols, summitted 2 peaks, and covered 51 miles. Between an exhausting first day and a 19-mile sixth day we experienced high alpine hut living (the huts range in elevation from 8,061 to 10,400 feet above sea level), beautiful mountain scenery, and great people. Join me as I retrace our route with photos of some of the highlights of the skiing and descriptions of the huts, the route, the conditions, and the people who joined us on this adventure. There will opportunities to hear questions from the audience, as well as demonstrations of the alpine touring and mountaineering gear necessary to undertake such a trip. |

| Panama: Birds and exotic creatures | Sat Nov 16 | Slide Show | Ken Collins | Like Costa Rica to its west and Colombia to its east, Panama is a country of extraordinary animal and plant diversity. With a variety of terrains - from the steamy Darien Isthmus to Caribbean and Pacific Islands to the Western Highlands, its bird life is absolutely stunning. One advantage it has over Costa Rica is that it has not drawn the tourist crowds to the same degree as the former. The country has a well-developed infrastructure and is capable of providing a very comfortable experience for visitors. This program will provide a glimpse of the rich natural life of Panama, based on a visit in February-March of this year, which included two guided birding trips, one private and one with a small group. With the combined use of a spotting scope and an iPhone, one can obtain stunning close-up images of the colorful life of this fascinating country. |
