 June 10 - PALMER PARK YUCCA FLATS, (no address) if you come from Paseo or Maizeland, turn off on the dirt road that says Lazy Land and Yucca Flats.  Keep bearing left until you come to the deadend of the road. That is where you will park.  There are no bathrooms.


June 17 - FOUNTAIN CREEK NATURE CENTER, 320 Pepper Grass Lane, Fountain, CO
Abundant bird life graces this wetland area.  A short hike down the trail takes you to ponds, streams, meadows, and possible mountain views.  Bathrooms are available in the Nature Center.  We probably will have the opportunity to paint off of the back deck of the Nature Center as well.

SAD NEWS
Also, I was saddened (and shocked) to find out that Bill Curits passed away unexpectedly. He had been painting with us this year and shared his artwork on the PAAC Facebook page.  I've included the link to his obituary.
