This project is a wonderful opportunity to experience a raft trip down a beautiful river.
Working with the BLM (who supply the rafts, kayaks, and river expertise) we will paddle
and float down the wild and scenic Chama River from just below El Vado Dam to our work
sites. This trip takes us to an area that most people have to win a lottery to see! We will
get to see and hear wonderful birds and interesting mammals and reptiles. We will be
constructing steps to campsites, camping both Friday and Saturday nights. We meet at Big
Eddy on Forest Road 151 (FR 151 heads west from 84 between Ghost Ranch and Echo
Amphitheater) on Friday July 11th at 8 AM. We will finish on Sunday afternoon July 12th
taking out below the monastery or perhaps going further down river to Big Eddy to experience the rapids. Group meals begin with Friday supper. This year's project is full
(it's limited to just 8 volunteers) but experienced VFO members are encouraged to sign up
early in 2009 for next year's trip.
Sorry, but this project is full.
