I imagine she was happy to not do all that paperwork. I looked up the Refuge and found http://www.fws.gov/southwest/REFUGES/newmex/sevilleta/, which says, ======================================================= Fire Threat Prompts Restricted Visitor Use of Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge Effective Friday, June 15, 2012, Sevilleta NWR will place restrictions on public use due to extreme fire danger. Read more Located in the Chihuahuan desert 20 miles north of Socorro, New Mexico, the land that is now Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge has a fascinating and long history. Sevilleta NWR is managed primarily as a research area, and is closed to most recreational uses. However, limited waterfowl and dove hunting is available, and special tours including environmental education programs for students, may be arranged by contacting the refuge at 505/864-4021 or fw2_rw_sevill...@fws.gov. Volunteers are needed to assist the refuge with maintenance, scientific, visitor services, and clerical projects. A trailer may be available; please contact the Refuge for more information. ======================================================== Sounds like an interesting place. Dry, but interesting.
