DINOTOUR 1995

[whiteh@rpi.edu (Heather Whitehead)]

I have been asked to post preliminary information on DINOTOUR 1995, 
a nine-day visit to museums, labs, quarries, and field sites in the state
of Texas. 

DINOTOUR's fifth annual tour is planned for Friday April 21 through 
Sunday April 30, 1995, starting in Lubbock and ending in Dallas. 
Costs are about $1100 - $1300 ($US), depending on accommodation;
participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from 
Lubbock and Dallas. Costs include transportation by motorcoach in 
Texas, motels, guidebook, the "famous lunch bar," admissions, T-shirt,
and the expertise of Dr. Phil Currie, Head of Dinosaur Research at the 
Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. On-site experts will 
provide opportunities for behind the scenes visits and learning opportunities 
not generally available to the public. Both Triassic and Cretaceous age 
sites are included in the itinerary. As in previous years, this is an
educational 
travel trip with lots of miles to cover, NOT a "dig experience." 

DINOTOUR is a Calgary-based group that organizes educational trips 
to sites of dinosaur interest. The volunteers who make up the DINOTOUR 
organizing committee have arranged trips annually since 1991, each one 
with Phil Currie as the on-board scientific leader. Participants have 
come from Canada, the USA and England, and many have returned each 
year to learn more and to renew friendships.  

Further information is available from: 
DINOTOUR, c/o 12231 Lake Fraser Way SE, Calgary, Alberta, CANADA, T2J 3T2 

I can collect and forward requests if you respond to me by e-mail; 
please include your surface mailing address.

My connection to DINOTOUR is as an organizing committee member 
and as a tour participant.
