DEEEP’s Teams

Those who have made this project possible.

The Domínguez-Escalante Expedition Education Project, DEEEP, has been made possible by the dedicated work of many. Below are those who have contributed their time and energy to make DEEEP’s work availalble for others.

This envelope was found on ebay several years ago. In the lower right corner reads the Domínguez Escalante Bicentennial Expedition 1776-1976. In the lower left corner is a drawing that may represent the 1976 trail ride.
