The Great Old Broads are taking on the Good Ol” Boys
in Utah. Organized in 1989 for the 25th anniversary of the
Wilderness Act, the Great Old Broads for Wilderness is a group of
over 70 women dedicated to preserving wild places. Their ninth
Wilderness Conference will be held Oct. 10-11 in Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument, but the gathering begins
Oct. 6-8 with a “broadwalk” through canyons and a stop at medicinal
mud flats to “soak the bones.” For more information, contact Kelly
Milliman, P.O. Box 355, Boulder, CO 80306
(303/697-0281).
