The blush of the prickly pear set against the darkening hue of the scrub oak acorns is unmistakably
upon us. Autumn is rising to kiss the sky and lead out old man winter as he readies to steal the day.
Summer’s fiery warmth is taking more time off with each passing day. You have labored hard this season in many remote places and honed your skills. Now it is time
to release your experience on our adopted trail! Join us on this“backyard project” where you will have the liberty to put into
practice everything you have learned. We will be concentrating on
a turn reconstruction approximately two miles in from the
trailhead. Along the way, there is plenty of general maintenance to
be done; including lopping, trimming, water bar repair, check dam
installation, and widening. We will meet at the Elena Gallegos
Picnic area at 8:30 AM. We will split into two groups with the
heavier work being done at the landing construction. The length of
the hike in will vary depending on which group you work with, but
will be no less than 4 miles. You are welcome to join us for all day
or just the morning. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and your own
lunch. Dress in layers and bring rain gear. Project is limited to 15 volunteers. Volunteers should
contact Bill Velasquez for more project specific information at 505-292-6030 or bill@rabbit.org.
