Medical Insurance

• All students are REQUIRED to have health insurance for the duration of the field course, 11 May through 27 June 2007, and to provide either a photocopy of the health insurance enrollment card or an appropriate document from the insurance provider which identifies the nature of the coverage.

Expenses

• Students should have about $300 to cover expenditures for food on the trips out and back and for items of personal interest.
• Carry about $50 cash for the trip west and the balance in Travelers Cheques. Cash-card machines will probably be accessible in the towns and touristy areas such as Santa Fe, Taos, and Gunnison. Such machines may or may not be available elsewhere. Do not expect the van/pickup caravan to drive all over town looking for a debit/cash card machine. Depending on location, mailing/wiring money can be very awkward.
