It May Get Dry Yet?Don't Give Up Hope - Albuquerque Soccer League

Page 36ASL NewsWhat if I drive past the Complex???Here’s a little something you may not know, but might be something to incorporate inyour Sunday activity some time. If you continue driving down the road past the soccercomplex, and on past the turn to the Tamaya Hotel, you’ll wind about 3 miles back ontoSanta Ana tribal property and eventually dead end at the Jemez Dam picnic area, a nicelittle area with about ten picnic tables and toilet facilities with a beautiful view in everydirection. It’s a favorite destination for cyclists, so watch your driving. Every table hasa grill area. The Jemez Dam is a flood control project operated by the United States Bureauof Reclamation and holds water that would otherwise make things pretty difficultfurther downstream. All things considered, it’s not much of a drive to get in your Sundayafternoon tailgating without being in middle of the new parking lot at the soccercomplex.Read This Very Carefully!!!
