We now expect to start University of Idaho student crews on July 31 and our first volunteer crews will have orientation the evening of Sunday, August 6th. We are three blocks north of Main Street on the left in a store building. Excavation and tour-guide volunteers are welcome and needed. Due to the need for some training and orientation for all participants, we are requesting a minimum of one week commitment by volunteers. The exception is for Grangeville and vicinity residents who can attend orientation and then help out on an irregular, shorter- term schedule throughout the summer and early fall.
Survival notes for visitors and volunteers.
Limited camping space has been offered by some local benefactors. For volunteers and crew, we have prepared a camp at Tolo Lake, mowed an area for camping, brought in some fresh water, and the ground is now dry enough for vehicles to drive in. The Fish and Game trailer and generator are in place and porta-potties are in service. Shower facilities are available in Grangeville at the school and swimming pool. There will be sunshades over the excavation areas but we still recommend clothing which will protect you from the sun.
