Jen, Andrew, Ben Wiebe, and George Koch made an afternoon trip out to NAU’s historic Hat Ranch property, located just west of Williams, AZ about an hour from Flagstaff. The goal was scouting and logistics planning in support of The Great Thermal Bakeoff workshop that Jen is leading in August.
A highlight of the visit was seeing some of the magnificent alligator juniper (Juniperus deppeana) trees at the Ranch, including the gnarly multi-stemmed beauty shown in the picture below (note the live bark and foliage on the left most stem).
A big thanks to DAPS faculty member Mark Salvatore for serving as tour guide (and photographer).
