Bluewater Creek (Rio Puerco BLM)
May 11, 2024 @ 8:00 AM - May 12, 2024 @ 2:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Don Lemke, d.lemke@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: NMVFO had 13 workers and 2 cooks and one BLM representative for this project. We cut overgrowth for 2.5 miles and improved several stream crossings.
Description: Bluewater Creek [Google Map] is in a pretty canyon below the Bluewater dam just west of Grants. It has been designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern by the BLM. We will improve an existing trail by improving the tread, cutting back overgrowth and making the rock stream crossings better. This is a flat trail and less that 3 miles round trip so we will rate this as an easy project.
We will offer camping for Friday and Saturday nights and provide food for Saturday morning, Saturday evening and Sunday morning. We will work from 8:00 to 5:00 on Saturday and from 8:00 to 2:00 on Sunday. You could come for the day without camping. There are no facilities so you will need to bring all your own water and food for the work days.
Participants should wear sturdy boots or work shoes (no sandals), long pants, hat, eye protection, gloves, and bring gear for rain. Pets are not allowed on projects.
Difficulty: 
Group size: up to 20
