Hello all,
Pleasant cool morning for the start of the hike at 9:45 from the Gabaldon end, following the new earthen, crusher fine trail in the Bosque. Group spotted 3 or 4 porcupines. Did not see the Great Horned Owls’ nest. Walked at a brisk pace in order to be on time to meet the Rio Grande Nature Center group.
Group doing the loop from Gabaldon to Montano and back included Scott Lake, Ken Callaghan, William Maxwell, Theresa Watson, Carol & Bob Diggelman, Dawn Leach and Kathleen Rhoad for most of the first leg to Montano. Thanks Scott for becoming the leader so Kathleen could rest her feet. This loop was 5 to 6 miles.
The group that did the RGNC to Montano loop included Dianne Fierro and Michelle & Gary Smith. Dianne reported that her pedometer showed it was 2.9 miles.
Several people had their first hike with our UU hiking group: William Maxwell, Theresa Watson and Michelle & Gary Smith. Welcome!
