Further Details On The Nevada Wilderness Astrology Camp
This wilderness camp is held in an extremely remote area near the California/Nevada border on the Nevada side of the White Mountains. This is a place far from any vestige of civilization, without any light pollution or other distractions, and is truly an ancient sacred site. The site itself is about 5000 feet in elevation in a high desert location. Plan for windy conditions (usually the winds pick up around Noon) and what remains of the summer heat. The days at this time of year are cooler than in the summer but still quite warm, the nights cool down and can even feel chilly. The camp is located 321 miles from Las Vegas, 214 miles from Reno, 57 miles from Tonapah, NV and 78 miles from Hawthorn, NV. You will receive more detailed directions when you register for the camp.

This is a full wilderness camp. You are responsible for your own camping equipment including tents, food and water. The closest motels (several are inexpensive) are in Tonapah, about 57 miles away from the site. Although this camp is primitive meaning there are no facilities, we highly recommend camping for the full wilderness experience. There is a nearby Hot Springs about 10 miles down the road in a wonderful wilderness location with no conveniences or amenities except for an outdoor shower. There are pools near the Hot Springs that can be used for bathing, and frequent journeys to the Hot Springs are a regular feature of our days. This is a clothing optional Hot Springs but do bring a bathing suit as sometimes families with children gather there.

Plan to arrive no later than 5 PM on Sunday afternoon so you will have time to set up your camp before dark and the evening meeting. We will break camp about Noon on Wednesday. The days will consist of beginning and advanced Shamanic Astrology classes with Daniel and the nights will include Daniel�s night sky teachings. The last night (Tuesday) features an opportunity to engage in an all night Astrological Vision Quest. This is optional.

Flexibility is always a key factor at these events, so the schedule may be adjusted to fit the needs of the campers as a whole and there will be time for hiking and enjoying the area. We highly recommend bringing warm blankets or sleeping bags for evening night sky classes. You may wish to come prepared with drums, rattles, altar pieces or any other ceremonial tools that feel appropriate to you. This is a drug free event.

Some suggestions on what to bring:

Food (everyone is responsible for their own food) Ice for coolers is available in nearby Dyer 15 miles away just a few miles past the Hotsprings. This is an extremely small town but there is a gas station with a general store and a pay phone.

Lots of Drinking Water. This is important as there is NO water at the camp site. Water is available at the general store.

Tent and a Sleeping Bag (rain is always a possibility.) and other camping gear if you are camping

Layers of clothes...the days are usually quite warm and the nights cool or even chilly. Last year the days were hot and windy and the nights cooled down, so plan accordingly. The sun is intense so plan to cover up to avoid sun burn.

Folding Chair (nice for night sky and daytime classes) or a blanket to sit on

A Small Hand Shovel for creative outdoor bathroom facilities and toilet paper

Your Astrology Chart, Ephemeris (if you have one), and the Venus/Mars Booklet available through the Shamanic Astrology Website or at the camp for $5

Notebook, paper, pens etc.

Flashlight, Camera, Towels, Sun Screen, Lip Balm, Hat, Binoculars

There is no shade at the camp site. So, you might want to bring some portable shade such as beach umbrella, or portable awning or canopy.. Also worth considering is bringing a Solar Shower although you can get an out door shower at the Hot Springs.

The most important thing to bring is an intent to have fun while learning more about the interrelated mysteries of Earth and Sky. Please do remember this is a drug free event.

And finally we ask that you keep in mind this is an unpolluted sacred outdoor site. The only traces of humanity here are the ancient petroglyphs and rock rings. Our intent is to honor this sacred site and to make as little an environmental impact upon the site as possible, leaving behind only our footprints and tire tracks, which the wind and rain erases. Plan to take your trash with you when you leave and leave nothing behind including toilet paper. This is a sacred site and it deserves our honor and respect. Gatherings have been occurring here now at least once a year for the past 5 years and this site remains unpolluted. Wild creatures live in the area including wild horses, and rattlesnakes. Both have been sited and so far have not posed a threat. When we approach these places with reverence and respect paying attention to and honoring the land and the beings already present, the land and the beings welcome our presence. We look forward to sharing this sacred time and place with you.

Plan to arrive in time to gather at 7 pm for our opening circle on Wednesday Mar 10. The course will complete by Noon on Sunday March 14. Be sure to allow enough time for a leisurely departure. The Tucson airport is about 30 minutes away and the Phoenix airport is about 2 and � hours if there are no traffic delays.

The classes are being held at Gael Chilson�s home. She lives outside of town on a rustic Old Mining Property that her family took over in the early 40�s. This area has been mined for silver, and copper etc. It is interesting to note that the silver used to craft the chalices for the San Xavier mission (very near by) came from these local mines. San Xavier Mission is an Old Spanish Style mission worth a visit.

The property is quiet and peaceful. There are hills and places for roaming around during breaks. For those you are interested be sure you have sturdy shoes as there are cactus and other spiny plants. Gael says there is plenty of wildlife including Javelina, Deer, and Hawks. There also have been very rare sightings of Bobcat, Coata Mundi (an indigenous ringed tail cat) and Mountain Lion though it has been many years since they have been observed.  There is also a small stone circle Gael has created with Solstice and Equinox alignments up on a hill behind her house.

Accommodations: Gael has room for people to stay or camp at her house. There is a bedroom for rent for $25 a night. An old motor home is also available for $25 a night. There is also a heated basement dormitory situation for those who do not want to commute from Tucson or Green Valley.  There are cots and beds available if you bring your sleeping bag and all she is asking is $6 a night donation to help cover the costs of water etc., due to the remoteness of her land she has to haul her own water. There is probably room for three or four people in the basement. Another option is to bring your tent and camp in the yard with the same donation request. Other options are to stay at a local motel or bed and breakfast.

Local Motels 20 to 30 minutes from Gael�s home.

Holiday Inn Express 520-625-0900
Best Western 520-625-2250
Baymont Inn  520-399-3736
Amado Terirtory Inn (a B&B about 40 minutes from Gael�s house) 520-398-8684
B&B off the Beaten Path owned by Joyce Sierra (a personal friend of Gael�s) near landmark Elephant Head and about 30 to 40 minutes from Gael�s house 520-398-3970

Meals: There is a kitchen available for those who plan to stay at Gael�s place with refrigerator and stove. Green Valley is about 20 minutes away with several grocery stores, restaurants, fast food, Mexican, Chinese etc. available. South Tucson is about 30 minutes away. If you�d like to have your meals prepared for you Gael is offering to provide meals for a cost of $66. That covers 11 meals starting with dinner on Wednesday to breakfast on Sunday. The meals will generally be vegetarian based, some chicken may be offered and country style breakfast with eggs and potatoes. These plans are tentative and open to suggestion. If you are interested in this option please let us know ASAP. You are also welcome to bring your own food to prepare in the kitchen. If you are bringing food to prepare it is recommended to keep it simple. Water: There is a Solid Carbon filtered drinking water system or you can bring your own water to drink. Please be mindful that Gael has to haul her water so conservation is appreciated.

Weather: March in Tucson is warming up. The weather ranges from anywhere from the 60�s to mid 80�s during the day and is usually in the 40's to 50�s at night. Rain is possible, though not probable and always welcome in the desert.

Transportation: Tucson is the closest major airport with most carriers servicing Tucson. Airline flights by all major carriers are available into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport about 2 and a � hours away.  Car rentals are available at both Tucson and Phoenix Airports. There is no Shuttle transport available to Gael�s house from either airport. However, you can take a taxi from the Tucson airport for about $60 one way, or Gael has offered to pick up people from the Tucson Airport for $20 to cover her gas and time.

Directions to Gael�s house from 1-19: From I-10 get onto I-19 going to Green Valley. There is only one direction from 1-10. From I-19 take the San Xavier Mission exit just past the Valencia exit and turn right at Stop sign. Follow the pavement, turn left onto Mission Road. It is about 10 miles�stay on Mission road and watch the speed limit signs. Gael�s house is on the right or west side of the road. It is the first driveway after the second cattle guard (the first cattle guard is at the beginning of the 10 miles on Mission road) with a blue and purple mailbox and a driveway that rises steeply up the hill to a pink and grey two story house. Gael can be reached at 520-625-5762
