Foray Schedule
• Foray Check-in was on Thursday, Aug 20, from 5-6pm and 7:00-8:00 pm.
• Participants were responsible for their own meals on Thursday.

Lodging Details:
• Rooms with single king or double queen beds for $79/night were held open for reservations (under NM Mycological Society) until 7 August.
• See page 2 of the Registration Form for more details.  (pdf)
• Foray Chair Libba Campbell encouraged folks visiting from lower altitudes to arrive early in order to acclimate to New Mexico elevations. (Taos sits at 7,000 feet, and Foray field trips can easily get above 10,000 ft.)

Alternative Lodging:
• Some of our participants have chosen to stay instead at the SnowMansion, which offers more rustic lodging, including campsites. It is located in Arroyo Seco, 8.5 miles north of our Foray Headquarters at the Kachina, and about a 20 minute drive.

T-Shirts

• Libba Campbell requested that those who had already registered for the Foray (using the older form) phone or email her to order shirts.
