One Day Back Country Navigation Course Offered

A one day course could help you navigate your way out of a bad situation or, at least, the back country. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office says his office and the Sweetwater County Library system are offering a Back Country Navigation course from July through October.






There is no charge for the training, which is limited to 25 people per class. Those who are interested can sign up by calling the appropriate library. Handouts, maps, compasses, and GPSs are provided, but people are encouraged to bring their own gear, as well.






Blust will serve as the instructor. He has trained hundreds of law enforcement officers, search and rescue personnel, and general outdoors enthusiasts in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Washington over the last 15 years.
