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.
