SUMMARY:Hermit's Peak
DESCRIPTION:Join the NMVFO as we work on a trail re-route for the Hermit Peak trail. This trail ultimately ascends to Hermit Peak which is located within the Pecos Wilderness and stands over 10\,000’ elevation\, forming a prominent landmark which can be seen for many miles from the grasslands of eastern New Mexico. The peak is named after an Italian missionary who lived in a cave near the summit in the mid 1860s. The trail section which we will be working on to establish new tread is located just a short distance from the trailhead at El Porvenir campground\, where we will be camping. The campground is accessible by automobile. Volunteers will need to bring their own camping equipment (tent\, sleeping bag\, etc.) as well as a plate\, bowl\, cup and eating utensils. \nVolunteers should wear long pants\, long sleeves\, sturdy boots (no sandals or tennis/athletic shoes) and work gloves. Also bring sunscreen\, a hat\, rain protection\, plenty of drinking water and snacks to get you from meal-to-meal. Tools will be provided. \nParticipants can start to show up at the El Porvenir Campground at noon on Thursday\, and we hope that all folks have arrived and set up their camps by Thursday dinner so that we can have a project meeting to go over details and safety considerations after dinner. \nMeals will be cooked by an award-winning trail chef who has supported numerous NMVFO and Continental Divide Trail Coalition projects with very tasty meals that really keep you going! Meals provided include from dinner Thursday night to lunch on Sunday. We hope that volunteers can stay for the entire project\, but let the project leader know when you sign up if you can only commit to a shorter schedule. The sign-up deadline is Thursday\, September 1. Contact Project Leader Mark Kimmel at 505-239-8240 or m_kimmel@q.com with any questions\, and/or to sign up for the project. \n– Start Date & Time: Thursday\, September 8\, 2016 at 12:00PM \n– End Date & Time: Sunday\, September 11\, 2016 at 12:00PM \n– Meeting Location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/El+Porvenir+Campground/@35.7105763\,-105.4141567\,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x7deaa8fc7b24f418!8m2!3d35.7102552!4d-105.4119636  \nPlease visit this link http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq/ if you have any questions about what to expect on an NMVFO project.
