Our speaker for the July General meeting will be Dallas Sierra Club member Martha Ohlson. Martha spent 4 weeks in Cambodia this past Christmas season. Her adventures there included a kayak trip on the Mekong River through the flooded forest area near the Lao border (a Ramsar Wetlands like our own Caddo Lake) and to the deep pools where the rare, endangered Irawaddy dolphin lives. She also went on a trek in Ratanakiri province, in the northeast part of the country. This is a remote area, inaccessible by road. In Phnom Penh, the capitol city, she attended the wedding of a cousin of a co-worker. In Siem Reap, she visited Angkor Wat, the largest temple complex in the world. Her last week in Cambodia was spent on the seacoast, where she went sea kayaking and spent a night on a remote island.

Martha has been a member of the Dallas Sierra Club since 1988. She is a former photo section chair and a former outings leader. She has given several presentations at past Sierra Club meetings, including trips to Nepal, Antarctica and Africa.
