This is my third winter in Palm Springs. I like to make friends exploring the great outdoors-the more remote the better. In my career as an Oil and Gas Exploration geologist, I have led many excursions to remote geologic sites. My passion is environmental education, including my specialty-geology. It’s a curse; I cannot look at beautiful scenery without wondering how it got there.
Coachella Valley Museum of History
Join Hike Leader Ken McDowell for a special tour of the Coachella Valley Museum of History. In addition to a docent-led tour of the Museum, Ken will discuss the geologic timeline of the Valley. Ken’s geology-oriented hikes and events have been popular events with members.
Permanent exhibitions of the Museum include an eclectic collection of Mexican folk art, a historical overview of the world’s oldest cultivated crop – the date palm, and a 1909 Indio schoolhouse. Dinner at the very popular TBK Deli to follow the tour. www.tkbbakery.com TBK will reserve a room for us that holds up to 25 people.
