Location - Attendees will meet at a central location in Tucson (TBD) prior to departing for Patagonia at 6:45 AM.
Field Trip Date/Time - Friday, September 29, 2023, 6:30 AM with a planned arrival at South 32's office in Patagonia at 8:00 AM.
Group size - Limit 25: South 32 has asked us to limit the number of field trip participants to 25 people.
Field Trip Costs - Field trip is restricted to AGS members; $35.00 for professional AGS members, and $10.00 for student members. These fees will cover the cost of transportation, lunch and refreshments. South 32 will provide the field trip guidebook. Information on lunch choices to follow; drinks and snacks will be provided.
Carpooling - Due to limited space, AGS has decided to employ several vans to transport field trip participants from Tucson to the South 32 Hermosa project site.
We anticipate that this trip will be highly popular, so in fairness to all we’ll use a lottery system to select participating members. Of the 25 spots, we are reserving five spots for AGS student members.
For those interested in attending, please enroll at your earliest convenience at https://www.arizonageologicalsoc.org/. Each enrollee will be assigned a number. Once registration is closed on 10 Sept., we’ll draw names and immediately inform registrants of their status. No payment is due until you have been notified of your status.

We will establish a wait list in the event of cancellations.
