   The Institute for Gay and Lesbian Education (IGLE) is sponsoring a camping
trip to the Anza Borrego Desert the weekend of April 1-2. The Anza Borrego
Desert is the largest state park in California, with its 600,000 acres of
rugged desert, oases, canyons, and badlands. After this year's rains, the
desert should be carpeted with yellow, scarlet, and magenta wildflowers. Dr.
Anna Mayers, a botanist with VanZanten Intl. will be our guide as we explore
the desert's wonders. Some of you might remember Anna as the botanical guide
at the 1994 earthquake camp-out. Nighttime should also bring fabulous sights.
Angelenos will see more stars in the desert sky than Hollywood Blvd ever
imagined. Telescopes and astronomical information will be provided.
   The IGLE group will camp near the Butterfield Stage Line route in a dry
camp. Campers will need to bring their own equipment, food, water, and other
supplies. The hiking will be moderate. Four-wheel drive not necessary.

    Event fee: $35
