Thursday:
Plan on arriving at El Mesón between 5 & 9pm (earlier or later is OK). There are no planned activities for Thursday. The evening will be dedicated to registration, preliminary announcements, and a lot of socialization I expect. Ellen Reed plans to bring a pan of Lasagne, which will feed a few people. However it would be good to consider eating dinner before arriving or dining somewhere in Chama.

Friday:
On Friday morning we will head off to some marvelous dining establishment for Breakfast. Bob Wilson will tell us where this place is. We will begin breakfast at 8am at a restaurant a mile or so up the road from El Mesón. As soon as possible after breakfast (around 9am) we will regroup at El Mesón, our lunches, form up carpools, and head of to field trip sites. (Early birds could probably accomplish some of these tasks before breakfast.)

One of the sites we're considering is the Hopewell Lake area. If anyone wants to wait until Friday to begin the Foray and go initially to Hopewell, please let me know. So far, three people have kindly offered to be the contact person at Hopewell. However, nobody has said if they want to make Hopewell their initial meeting place for the Foray.

The rest of the Foray details we will explain on Thursday evening and Friday Morning.

El Mesón is a two-story rectangular pink building a hundred meters or so to the west of the highway coming into Chama from the south. (When you reach the Elk Horn Café, turn left). It's located at the south end of town along the section of road with all the zillions of cabin/motel resort-type places (before one gets to the "Y").
