You are one of our valued guests at Dreamland Safari Tours. Thanks for being along for the adventure.
December is just around the corner - and we're excited for it. Why? December means things are quiet and serene here in the desert.  It means short but often sunny days, golden light and sunset tours that still allow you to be home for dinner and a good night's rest, and it also means an opportunity for our guides to venture out into the backcountry together as we explore the region's less traveled areas with an eye towards new tour destinations in 2022.
It also means that we are in full-on planning mode for next year's overnight tours and special events, and in order to better serve your interests we'd like to ask you something: should we add an additional set of dates for Cody York's sought-after Milky Way workshops? At this point, we have confirmed a date with Cody for a combination White Pocket workshop and Toroweap field trip from May 1-4, which only has one single spot still left available. If you'd be keen to see additional dates with Cody at White Pocket or the Great Chamber, please simply respond to this email to let us know.
Speaking of overnight trips: if you're hoping to join us for an overnight camping trip to White Pocket or Toroweap, make sure to book now -- these overnight adventures are popular among photographers and desert lovers alike; some of our 2022 dates are already sold out!

Meanwhile, we still have more guides to introduce to you! In today's edition of the Dreamland Post, we are excited to feature Mike McTeer who joined Dreamland Safari Tours earlier this year after a long career as a civil engineer.  While Mike still has various other responsibilities that may limit the amount of guiding he is able to do for Dreamland in 2022, he's been a ray of light for Dreamland's guests over the course of this past summer & fall. 
Here's what Mike shared about his background & time with Dreamland:

When did you first start working for Dreamland?
March 24, 2021 on a training tour to White Pocket with Orion. It had snowed the night before. Imagine the light. I was humbled by the experience Orion gave our guests that day.

Where are you originally from? 
Clovis California, in the Central Valley.

What's your favorite Dreamland tour?
It’s usually the last tour I was out on that makes me smile but White Pocket for sure.

If money was no object, what would you do all day?
Being physical outside, creating some form of art, enjoying amazing meals and connecting with people in a meaningful way.  

If you could live anywhere EXCEPT for the desert Southwest, where would you want to live? 
About 9/10ths of the way down the Baja peninsula on the sea of Cortez at an undisclosed location.

Can you share one of your favorite memories that you've made while guiding/working for Dreamland. 
A two hour conversation driving back from White Pocket with five guests one evening tops my list. Like hanging out with old friends. The light on the grand staircase that evening was intense.

And here's what our guests have to say about Mike:

"Mike went above and beyond, making sure that we didn't miss all of the amazing sights on the way to the Wave, and getting us all of the best views. He even helped us to reach areas that we definitely would not have made it to on our own. I would highly recommend Dreamland tours for anyone coming to the area! Based on our experience with Mike, they clearly hire only the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and most capable guides."

"I don't write many reviews, but I had to for this one - hiring Mike to be my guide for the day was the best decision I could have made. He was knowledgeable, patient, super helpful, and great company. I'd absolutely recommend Dreamland and more specifically Mike, for a hike to The Wave. It couldn't have been a better day!"

"Mike was great as our guide and made sure that he set a doable pace for us. And, again, his knowledge of the area was a constant source of interest to us. I should have just turned my camera over to Mike for the entire hike, because he took a few awesome pics of our group for us. Thanks Mike."

"The best guide ever: Mike. He was so engaging on the drive there that it turned out he and my husband had several things in common so they bonded quickly. Upon arriving at South Coyote Buttes, we began what I hoped would be a good day which turned into an amazing day of adventure and hiking. Mike took great care of us and was such a gentleman when he helped me up and over several places that were hard for me to negotiate. All in all, it was a day that I shall always remember and we will ask for Mike once again the next time we are in Kanab!"

Mike -- thank you for being such a wonderful guide and human; we're stoked that you are part of the Dreamland story, and hope you'll stay close for years to come!
