Racers and Ranchers, a charitable organization aimed
at preserving Baja’s off road legacy for generations
to come, will hold its second event on Saturday, May
3rd, at Rancho El Coyote in Northern Baja California,
Mexico.
Rancho El Coyote is southeast of Ensenada and east
of San Telmo, approximately 30 miles east of Highway
1 just off the newly paved observatory road. Volunteers
are solicited to help in repairing several fences
and gates damaged in recent Baja races. Damaged areas
have been identified by the owners of Rancho El Coyote,
Esteban and Alfredo Meling, and a one-day working
effort is planned to repair and mend the race damage.
There is no ride or excursion associated with this
event. It is only a dedicated work day aimed at giving
back to the longtime generosity of the Meling Family.
Esteban and Alfredo of the famed Meling heritage have
been extremely generous in allowing access to race
promoters, recreational riders and drivers traversing
the San Telmo Valley and Sierra San Pedro Martir Mountains.
Racers and Ranchers will provide the manpower and
minor materials to support the days work and enjoy
a day of giving back to Baja outback what so many
take for granted.
Volunteers are requested to meet at Rancho El Coyote
at 8AM, May 3rd, for working group assignments. Please
bring work clothes suitable for the Baja outback,
work boots, gloves and sun protection. Racers and
Ranchers members with 4x4 vehicles will provide the
transportation to the various work sites, plus water,
energy drinks, and snacks.
Mid day the Meling Family will provide a traditional
Mexican lunch at El Coyote, before working parties
return to complete the day’s work. At the end
of the day, everyone is invited to Rancho El Coyote
for a lively barbecoa, again hosted by the Meling’s.
A great evening of outstanding food, story telling,
camaraderie, and friendship awaits our crew along
with a beautiful Baja sunset.
