This project is being sponsored by “Step into Cuba”, a healthoriented
program of walkways, trails, and physical activity in
the town of Cuba. On Saturday we will be building some Cuba
municipal trails. On Sunday we will have a chance to preview a
route for the Continental Divide Trail out of Cuba. The
Sandoval County airgrounds will be our base and
campground. It has an area for tents, flush toilets, potable
water and a covered area for cooking. The fairgrounds are just
off county Route 11, near the intersection with Rodeo Road.
As you come into Cuba from Albuquerque, turn right onto
County Road 11; go south about 1 ½ mi, and then turn right
onto Rodeo Road at the Fairgrounds entrance. (The US Forest
Service Cuba Ranger District office is on County Road 11.) It
will be open by mid-afternoon on Friday, Sept 11. I will email
participants an entry code to gain access to the Fairgrounds. I will try to send out a list of attendees so
that if anyone would like to carpool, he or she can contact other participants.
The NMVFO will provide all meals on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Breakfast will
be around 7:00 AM. Bring work gear (long pants, long-sleeved shirt, work gloves, hat, boots,
sunscreen, etc) and water bottles. For meals, please bring your own dish and eating utensils. The
weather may be cool or rainy so I recommend that you have some shelter such as a tent or RV. In
addition to your usual camping gear, please bring chairs for a Saturday night program. The land agency
representative (or project manager) is Dick Kozoll, (575) 289-3594, and cell (505) 249-5733.
