Howdy folks,

First off, thank you to TEXAS ROVERS for setting this up, it's a privilege to "work" with the Club and its Members. Here is some information for the attendees you will find helpful. This Trail Leader Course is for Club Members who are interesting in gaining off-road knowledge to better prepare them for guiding and leading Trails at SCARR 2020.

Training Location will be on my private property. This is raw land and is out in the sticks, literally! I am still in the process of cleaning and clearing this property for my future home so excuse the mess! But it's over 8 acres that has plenty of room for us. The physical address will not take you there but I'll include directions and coordinates to find me. Be mindful of your speed once you hit gravel and enjoy the view. It will turn to a dirt road once you hit my property, nothing more nothing less...please follow the flags to get to where we will be meeting. It's worth the drive! There will be a Porta-Potty (Thank you TR) at the entrance of the my "driveway" for you to use, as I have no facilities yet.
