First, San Jaun Outdoor Club Meeting tomorrow is open to the PUBLIC!

“San Juan Outdoor Club Monthly Meeting, June 2nd, 6pm, PLPOA Clubhouse: We have resumed our monthly meetings. June’s presentation will be “The Monsoon in the Southern San Juan’s” by Arleen Prochazka. Meetings are held at the PLPOA clubhouse, 230 Port Avenue, and start at 6:00 pm with a social hour and the presentation following. The public is welcome and light refreshments are provided.”

I grew up in Montana where my love of mountains is rooted. I was in the Air Force for 24 years; Weather Observer to Weather Forecaster to Staff Weather Officer all to ensure flight safety. Mission was to brief aircrews on clouds, winds, turbulence, icing, thunderstorms. I served a total of 8 assignments and 4 deployments around the world. After RV traveling full time for 9 years, we found paradise in Pagosa. Here we enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, snowshoeing, skiing in spectacular mountains! Plus, we're trying to solve the San Juan weather puzzle! I am an AMS member.
