Fieldtrip to Green's Peak Road (White Mountains) with Dave Powell
location:
Saturday, May 19, 2012
6:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Join us for an early season trip to Green’s Peak Road in the White Mountains. We will be looking for early season specialties including Rhesus Skipper, Mountain Checkered-Skipper, Anicia Checkerspot, Morrison’s Skipper, and Alberta Arctic, along with other possibilities. We will meet at the Denny’s in Fountain Hills (Shea near AZ 87) at 6:00. It will take about 3 hours to get to Green’s Peak Road, leaving us with plenty of time to look for the specialties. We should be back in Fountain Hills between 8:00 and 9:00 depending on people’s desire to stop for dinner. Please wear comfortable, sturdy boots, as we will be walking on some rocky terrain. Other than the rocks this will be easy walking, though we will be above 8000 feet. Plan to bring lunch, as we will not be near any restaurants while looking for the butterflies.
We ask for a $5 donation per person.
