MARC to again award scholarship

between El Paso and Carlsbad, New Mexico. Primitive tent camping will be available at Pine Springs Campground on a first come first served basis. There will be a free campsite 40 miles away in New Mexico on BLM available as an alternative camping site. Again, I can't stress how strenuous this trip will be. Only those with good health are recommended attempting this adventure.
   Contact me for more information.
