Monday, August 8, 2022
2:00 PM service with reception to follow
Unitarian Church of Los Alamos
Although we hope to organize a streaming option, please attend in person if you can. And we would appreciate your memories and photos as we prepare the service - please send them to me.
We are saddened by the passing of Mountaineer Jan Studebaker. A service of memorial and celebration of life will be held at the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos, 1738 Sage Loop, at 2 PM Monday August 8, followed by a reception in the church Fellowship Hall and patio. We hope to see you in person, but if you cannot be there in Los Alamos, please contact Bill to obtain the link to the private Youtube channel, where the service will be live streamed. Masks will be required inside the church, and the church requests that all visitors be vaccinated.

The trip is a mountain/gravel bike or hike on the dirt road traversing the 20,000 acre Edward Sargent Wildlife Area in Chama, NM (2 hour drive from Los Alamos). The ride is a 15 mile round trip (500 feet elevation over 7.5 mile) on mostly packed dirt with a couple of mildly bumpy rocky sections, approximately 3 hour ride. An elk calving closure is in effect at Sargent so bikers and hikers must stay on the main road.
With Bandelier opening some of their trails on Friday, I propose an outing. There are a limited number of trails open, but let's do what we can. We will meet at Juniper campground at 9:00 AM. From there, our hike takes us 1.5 miles down the Frey trail to headquarters, with a 500 foot drop, then 1.5 miles downstream (with another 400 foot drop) to the upper falls, where the trail ends since it washed out years ago. We will then backtrack to headquarters and lunch there - I think there is a cafe where one can buy lunch (but I am not sure), or bring your own.
Once more returning to the canyon country, our spring 2022 trip will be based in the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument, near the confluence of Sand Creek and its Willow Patch tributary. We will reach our camp by hiking down from McMath point, south of Boulder, Utah. We will explore the oases, slick rock, domes, and huge views of the canyon country. The outing is fairly physical, with several hours of hiking every day, with a comfortable base camp to return to every evening. The route to camp might be just a few miles, but the route is over rugged, trailless country.
