We'll enjoy balmy summer nights and watch for Perseid meteor showers when we journey to this jewel of a state park on the Colorado border where we always receive a warm welcome. Work will include trail maintenance, especially erosion control, and the construction of a log bridge. We will camp in the Gambel Oak Group Area in Soda Pocket Campground where there are pit toilets, trees, meadows, a great view, and space for RVs. Hot showers are available at the Visitor's Center. For a park map and more info about its historical and natural attractions, visit http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/Sugarite.htm. Lodging is available in nearby Raton for those who prefer not to camp. Carpooling is encouraged and will be facilitated by the Project Leader. Volunteers should bring long pants, long sleeves, work gloves and boots, sun and rain protection, insect repellant, camping gear, camp chair, day pack, and eating utensils. Saturday and Sunday breakfasts and Saturday night dinner will be provided by NMVFO, prepared by a VFO volunteer. Volunteers should bring their own lunches and snacks. Please sign up for this project by Sunday, August 1.
