Dear Tim,
Dear Tim,
Thank you for contacting us about the CASSP (California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program) workshop on September 20-21. We are pleased to confirm your registration.
We will begin at 9:00 on both days, and we'll end at 4:30 on Saturday and at 2:30 on Sunday. Lunch (sandwiches and salads) will be provided on both days, and we'll take a group photo before we leave on Sunday. The San Luis Obispo County Archaeological Society (SLOCAS) lab is located near Cuesta College and El Chorro Regional Park, on Cabrillo Hwy (Hwy 1). We would like to plan a pot-luck supper on Saturday at El Chorro Park. We'll send more information about the pot-luck and detailed directions to the lab in another e-mail.
Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting site stewardship. We look forward to seeing you in September.

*****6/12/2014 UPDATE! ADVANCED WORKSHOP SATURDAY 9/20 - SUNDAY 9/21/2014 IN SLO: The last CASSP workshop of this fiscal year will be an advanced training on artifact identification and description, held on Sat. Sept. 20 - Sunday Sept. 21, 2014 at the San Luis Obispo County Archaeological Society (SLOCAS). The host agency is the BLM Bakersfield Field Office. I have signed up to attend this advanced workshop - hope you can join me.
CASSP advanced workshops are hands-on, learning-by-doing activities. At this workshop, participants will help catalog items from the SLOCAS collections, some of which came from the Carrizo Plain before parts of that area became BLM lands. SLOCAS Board chairman Luther Bertrando, SLOCAS curator Christina Macdonald, BLM archeologist Tamara Whitley, and CASSP coordinators Beth and Chris Padon will provide this training.
There is no fee for this workshop. Lunch will be provided on both Saturday and Sunday. The workshop is limited to 25, and advanced registration is required (contact Beth or Chris at bpadon@discoveryworks.com or 562-427-3474). When you register, please let us know if you are interested in camping at the nearby El Chorro Regional Park of San Luis Obispo County.
PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED REGULAR WORKSHOPS: Before the advanced workshop in September, four regular CASSP workshops will be held:

Sue and I took this training in December 2011 and have not regretted it! We met a lot of AWESOME people, got a ton of knowledge dropped on us, and the rest is history! Help preserve our California history! Photos and information from our training below.
CASSP volunteer training workshops are held throughout California. Each workshop focuses upon the archaeological and historical resources at the host agency. But the structure of the workshops is consistent from place to place. You may take the volunteer training at one location, and join an existing team of volunteer site stewards at another location that is closer to home.
For each workshop, the Saturday classroom session starts at 9:00 and ends at 4:30. Lunch is provided. For the Sunday field session we assemble at 9:00 at the classroom location to carpool for the field trip, which ends at about 2:30. The $25 workshop fee is collected at the door.
Space is limited to 25 participants and you must register no later than the Monday before the workshop that you want to attend. In order to register, contact Beth or Chris Padon at (562) 427-3474 or at bpadon@discoveryworks.com

*****December 2011
Sue and I took this course together, and it was a ton of fun. Also, we got to meet Mark A., who has become a regular for our desert excursions (and a great guitar player and nice guy to boot!). We took it so that we could educate ourselves and become Site Stewards. The training was in Ridgecrest, Calif. and our site outing was to the Fossil Falls area. Amazing weekend course, and only $25 including lunch!!!!! Photos from that trip are interspersed throughout this posting. The archaeologists were Ashley B. (BLM Ridgecrest) and Greg H. (BLM Bishop), and the BLM wilderness folks included Steve S. Jim K. from the HSUMD and other groups was in attendance as well - always great to see RubiBlue!
