On December 4, 2010, BLM Director Bob Abbey and
Arizona BLM State Director Jim Kenna, among others, were keynote speakers
at the 20th Anniversary of the Arizona Desert Wilderness Act and the Juan
Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, and the 10th Anniversary of the
Sonoran Desert National Monument and the National Landscape Conservation
System.
The celebration took place at the Gila Bend Air Force
Auxiliary Field south of Gila Bend, Arizona. A number of PLF members
attended along with hundreds of others who enjoyed a pleasant Arizona Fall
day.
The day's events included guest speakers,
entertainment, over 40 exhibitors, Mormon Battalion and Anza Expedition
re-enactments, a historic Wells-Fargo Stagecoach, good food, and much
more.
