Quemado Lake
June 30, 2017 @ 8:00 AM - July 2, 2017 @ 12:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Jim Scanlon, 505-385-0517, scanlon.jim@gmail.com with any questions.
We’re back. Lend a hand at beautiful Quemado Lake as we finish up the work of brushing and erosion control on the Largo Canyon Trail that we began last year. We’ll also take the time to do work along the lovely Sawmill Canyon Trail. We’ll begin by working all day Friday, June 30, the same on Saturday, July 1 and half a day Sunday, July 2. Hopefully we will again see bald eagles as they finish up their nesting.
We have one of the group campsites reserved for us. It has plenty of tent sites or you can bring an RV or sleep in your vehicle. The site also has a shelter with tables and vault toilets. Our cooks, Jackie and Marcy, will be supplying breakfasts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and dinners on Friday and Saturday. Volunteer are responsible for their own lunches, which we will eat on the trail, as well as beverages, adult or other wise.
This project is limited to 12 volunteers. The last day to sign up is Sunday, June 25. To join the project or get more information please contact Jim Scanlon at scanlon.jim@gmail.com or 505-385-0517.
