Hello all TrailBlazers in the Southwest.
The Mile High Chapter of Denver, has scheduled a ralley at Lathrop State Park, located near the southern border of Colorado. The purpose of this ralley is to invite anyone from the Southwestern states that wishes to form or restart a chapter (s) in your areas. The date for this event is June 7 thru 11th of this year (2007) We have already had responses for this event.
This will be a grand time to meet other Blazers and to camp together while helping you organize and form chapters. There are sites available at Lathrop for these dates. This a beautiful and popular campground so once the camping urge hits other campers, availability of these sites should decrease quickly.
Located in this area is the historic Cumbres and Toltec Railroad that chugs its way across some very scenic San Juan mountains and on into Chama, New Mexico. This historic railroad traverses an amazing variety of terrain from high plains desert, through transition zones and canyons, to sub-alpine meadows. The train ride is a delight for anyone who enjoys the high country with up-close looks at the striking geology, colorful wildflowers, and occasional glimpses of wildlife. Anyone for riding an old railroad?
