Datil Well Recreation Area
August 25, 2018 - August 26, 2018
Contact Leader(s): Chris Fritzsche, 505-504-3768, fritzsche.christopher@gmail.com with any questions.
RESULTS: At the Datil Well campground trail, fifteen volunteers built a 0.67 mile span of new trail in grassy soil.
Enjoy this beautiful and historic gem of recreational land as we build a new trail spur into the southwestern, unimproved areas of the recreation area. The hike to the furthest point from the campground is about a mile but will increase as we build!
Please sign up by Tuesday, August 21st so that we can match provisions to participants. Unfortunately, we will not be able to support restricted diets.
Datil is 61 miles west of Socorro on US Hwy 60. The campground is ¼ mile south of Datil on Hwy 12. The green NMVFO signs will be deployed early Friday afternoon at both entrances to the campground area. Work will begin Saturday, August 25th at 8:00am and Sunday, August 26th at the same start time. We’ll finish up around noon on Sunday.
