We held an early morning, 1 mile walk through the cottonwood orchards at the Colorado River Indian Tribes Ahakhav Tribal Preserve. 

The walk was very pleasant and some participants were lucky enough to catch site of some deer grazing in the orchard.

Although the morning was quite chilly, by CRIT standards, we had a nice turn out and everyone enjoyed the walk.

Pictures from the walk were featured in a poster promoting walking as a way to get some exercise.

Since we were also recruiting for our program by conducting blood glucose checks, we found out that the blood glucose meters should not be packed up in the van overnight in cold weather.

We could alleviate this problem by not packing the glucose meters in the van until the day of the event.

We plan to hold another annual JMI event next year. :)
