May 30-June 1

Murie Audubon Society members are hosting the 8th annual campout for Audubon chapters in Wyoming May 30 - June 1--although participants need not be Audubon members and with motels near by, camping is optional.

There will be 12 free camping spots available at Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park. To reserve one, please contact Ann Hines, 307-266-3160, wilmerhines@bresnan.net. Please contact Ann to register even if you won't be camping so that she can send you directions and late breaking details if necessary. There is no registration fee to participate in any of the weekend's events. Here's the schedule:
