Call for Volunteers!
On January 18, 2015, Sunday of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, Carroll is kicking it up a notch with the Buena Suerte 50 Mile / Quick Silver 30 K Ultra Run in the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Some of the single tracks, creek beds, and unmaintained sections of the course in the Big Bend Ranch make the Course Roads of the National Park look like super highways for the runners.
If you enjoy the desert and Big Bend area of West Texas. If you enjoy the challenge of camping out in the wilderness in winter time. If you can afford several days of vacation in January. Maybe you would like to visit the historic and naturally scenic Big Bend Ranch State Park. Located between Lajitas and Presidio where Ranching and Mining were once the driving forces of economy in the area. The Big Bend Ranch State Park is a wonderfully preserved area of the Big Bend Border Land covering over 300,000 acres.
For 6 of the last 9 years, Carroll Voss kf5kqa, of Overland Race Management, has organized and directed Ultra Run foot race events in Big Bend National Park. It has been very popular with the runners and an enjoyable outing for the support volunteers. The Big Bend Amateur Radio Club has organized the communications for the event and the San Antonio Area HAMs have assisted with a good number of HAM volunteers.
