November 8 Hike

Because of a conflict I have on Saturday November 7th, I'm planning a hike on Sunday, November 8th, at Bosque del Apache (the following weekend is just before the Festival of the Cranes). In the last several months a good deal of work has been done in the vicinity of the boardwalk on the Marsh Loop in the Refuge. I want to start and end at the boardwalk parking area, follow the trail beyond the boardwalk, up to an elevated site that overlooks a wonderful recently-flooded area that's been hosting all sorts of waterbirds, and around a loop back. It's a great opportunity to see some of the winter wildlife that the Refuge is famous for.

We'll meet at 9 am at the Socorro Public Schools Admin. Bldg. parking lot on Franklin St. to carpool down there. Bring binocs if you have them. Unfortunately, the now-famous Buckhorn in San Antonio is closed on Sundays but we should be finished in time for lunch back home. Bob
