Abo Painting Project (Salinas Pueblo Missions NM)
June 30, 2022 @ 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Ed DiBello, 505-705-2584, e.dibello@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: Seven NMVFO volunteers joined National Park Service staff to refurbish information signs at the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, Abo site. The VFO work crew masked, sanded, washed, and spray painted the metal frames for 15 signs located throughout the monument. The NPS staff provided all painting supplies and significant support. New information signs will be installed in the refurbished frames. Three volunteers, who had not previously participated in a Salinas project, were presented with Salinas Monument Challenge Coins. Weather was pleasant with some wind that made spray painting a challenge. A resident diamond-back was spotted during the site survey (see picture); fortunately, no diamond-backs disturbed the actual painting project.
