Day Trip'n by Ginny Gottfredson, Sales Manager Lake Mead Cruises Fall Is For The Birds! Birding in Southern Nevada is the perfect activity for October after you support our Hospital at Art in the Park, October 4 and 5! Clark County Nature Preserve, east of Boulder Highway on Tropicana, is perfect for a bike ride or giving Bowser a run, and accessible through the Duck Creek Trail entrance.

Henderson’s Bird Viewing Preserve is located at 2400 Moser Drive. They offer classes and walking tours. Information by phone is available at 267-4180. Pull up www.lvwash.org, and pay special attention to the photos by Boulder City’s own Andy Cattoir! To actively participate with a Birding Group, Southern Nevada Wildlife and Birding Trails Partnership meets monthly. Presently they are planning a Birding Festival for spring 2009, and would love to have interested volunteers join them. For information about the group, call Cherie Westbrook, an organizer with the Laughlin Visitor’s Center, at 298-3022, or e-mail her at cwestbrook@lvcva.com. Another active Birding Group is the Red Rock Audubon Society. Established in 1976, they meet the second Monday of each month. Their website is www.redrockaudubon.org, or call for information at 390-9890. The State of Nevada has published a fabulous Birding Map, available by calling Connie Mancillas at 486-2426. Connie is Southern Nevada’s Representative for the Nevada Commission on Tourism. No to Birding? Check out www.springspreserve.org.

Neat Nevada Notes: A bit over 100 miles north and slightly east of Reno/Sparks on SR 447 off Interstate 80, Gerlach is best known these days as gateway to Burning Man, a week long experience culminating on Labor Day. Burning Man has been described as being “un-describable” unless you have been there! burningman.com has the scoop. In Washoe County, Gerlach was named for Louis Gerlach’s Land and Cattle Company in 1900. A Railroad community, Gerlach was established by the Western Pacific Railway, and is currently home to nearly 500 residents at an elevation of 3951'. A few years ago Gerlach’s Planet X Pottery attended our Art in the Park. Visit www.gerlach.travelnevada.com for more information. Contact Ginny at Lake Mead Cruises, www.lakemeadcruises.com.
