Saturday, February 28, 2009: Ojito Wilderness. Ojito Wilderness is a fun place to explore and this should be a good time of year to check it out. We’ll go off-trail on Bernallito Mesa, 6 miles or so, moderate pace, some elevation gain, great views guaranteed. Bring lunch, liquids and layers and meet at Smith’s parking lot, Carlisle and Menaul, 9:00 for carpooling. Driving distance 100 miles round trip. For more information call Carol Chamberland at 505 341-1027.

March 28, April 5, 18, and 26 DESERT EXPLORATORY HIKES:

Come and explore some of New Mexico's beautiful desert landscapes in the cooler, drier seasons of Fall, Winter, and early Spring. These hikes are not difficult, and are at a slow pace, but will require a sense of adventure on the part of participants. There will rarely be a trail and the route can be rocky and uneven at times. Some road tracks and game trails will be used, if available, and we will always try for the least difficult route that is evident. We may occasionally encounter dense growth and downed logs in canyon bottoms, though I will try my best to avoid this. Sometimes we scramble (easy climbing) over rock surfaces and walk narrow ledges, if this can be done safely. Typical hike length is between 6 and 10 miles and we may gain 500 to 1500' of elevation. Leader determines outing details and meeting time by previous Wednesday, if possible. =========================================
Please contact leader for specifics no later than the Thursday preceding the scheduled hike date. =========================================
You may also request to be included on an E-mail list for receiving the same information, so you won't have to call. Meeting time will vary from 8:00AM to 9:30AM. Meeting place will always be Smith's, Carlisle and Menaul. Both Sierra Club and Outdoor Adventures For Singles are invited for these outings.
Leader: Tom Petencin (tompeten@msn.com), 271-9928.
