Back to Projects
Saturday June 13 through Sunday June 21, 2009
Leader: Kevin Balciar, (505) 293-1477, Kevin@soleilwest.com
If you like working in lush green meadows, and near roaring streams,
this is the project for you. The Rito Azul, the Rito Chimayosos, and
the Rito Padre are all tributaries flowing into the Pecos River just
above Beatty’s flat, and this is where we will be working for nine
glorious days. As you might imagine the trails in this area are muddy,
and prone to water erosion. Our efforts will mitigate those problems.
We will set up a base camp, on Trail 246, approximately 8.4 miles
from the Iron Gate Trail Head. We will work within a 2.5 mile radius
from camp.
All meals are provided for the entire nine days beginning Saturday
June 13. Meals are even provided on our day off, Wednesday, June
17. Volunteers must provide their own camping gear. They should bring work gloves, long pants, work
shoes, stream crossing shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, eating utensils, rain gear, tent, sleeping bag,
water bottles, and a day pack.
The Iron Gate campground is approximately two hours from Albuquerque and one hour from Santa Fe.
Please contact the project leader, Kevin Balciar (contact information above) before June 8 to sign up.
