This project is called the Little Horseshoe Project and is in Bighorn Sheep territory in AZGFD management unit 28. Coordinates are: N 32°23’14.64″, W 109°3’56.94″. We will have to travel into New Mexico on Hwy 70 to Gruwell Rd just west of MP 13. We will meet at Gruwell Rd that morning at 8AM then proceed to the project location from there. The road is narrow and rocky so side by side or ATV is required. We can get trucks to about a mile from the project. Side by side or ATV can travel a little further but limited to two or three past the parking area do to road conditions. There will be a short 1/2 to 3/4 mile hike to the project site from the road so dress appropriate. We will be cleaning out the water catchment, replacing the plumbing from the catchment to the storage tank, then from the storage tank to the drinker. We will be installing a new wildlife drinker as well. We will need a few shovels, digging tools, and plumbing tools if you are able to bring any. We will be supplying lunch so please RSVP to seazscnews@gmail.com so we have a head count. Thank you, and we hope to see you there.
