Registration is now open for Botanical Illustration of Desert Flora, a weekend field class taught through UC Riverside’s Extension program. This class will be held at the Desert Studies Center at Soda Springs. For you California locals who know the road to Las Vegas well, you’ll be taking the Zzyzx exit off Highway 15. This seemingly “road to nowhere” leads to a research center managed by CSU Fullerton. It’s a great place. Simple, quiet, and comfortable. By “simple”, I mean in a grad student sort of way. Never mind, though. It’s a special place to all who have stayed there over the years. Check your shoes, bring sunscreen, never part with your water, and read the Safety instructions. Enjoy!
