Full Moon Fundraiser
Full Moon, Fire, Food and the outdoors
The newly formed Pagosa Nordic Club and the well established
San Juan Outdoor club teamed up with GECKO for a full moon
fundraiser.
In our ongoing effort to build inter-community involvement and
raise money for GECKO we used the full moon to celebrate a
multi club event and fun(d) race.
The local Ranch Community graciously donated their private
open space. Local hero Norm Vance spent the day grooming a
skate ski and classic track to perfection.
Just prior to sun down several area skiers hammered off into the
dusk for a three lap race. The race wrapped up as the full moon
cleared the clouds and the San Juan Outdoor club bonfires hit
full glow.
Food, drink and stories were shared by all.
Following dinner everybody donned either skis or snowshoes
and headed out under the moon to work off the burgers and
brats.
What a great way to kick off fundraising for 2009!
Race proceeds were spilt between GECKO and the Nordic club.

Mike "the limit" Clinton,
