Dahlem to Offer Sunday Travel Series

             Fasten your seatbelt. and get ready for the return of Dahlem Center's OUTDOOR ADVENTURE Travel Series, slated for Sunday afternoons beginning on January 12.

            Slide/video programs (narrated by local travelers) are scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. in Dahlem Center's classroom at 7117 S. Jackson Road. Admission is $3 per session (free to DEEC members) and pre-reservations are requested (782-3453).

            Dahlem volunteers Joan and Roger Block will kick off the series by inviting participants to share the adventures (and misadventures) of a '60s camping trip to the West Coast with their young family. Their road trip includes humorous and picturesque stops in many of the National Parks of old. An updated look at some of these same spots and backroad discoveries will be included in the January 19 "Wandering West" session. Our guides will be wildlife filmmaker/educator Myrna Berlet and her husband, Don Dutcher, a long-time member of the Jackson Camera Club. In subsequent weeks, we'll travel from the skies over Jackson to the plains of Africa, the Canadian North, the Galapagos Islands and the Pacific Northwest.
