Magdalena Planning 2 Prescribed Burns week of April 22, 2013

MAGDALENA, NM –The Cibola National Forest and Grasslands’ Magdalena Ranger District is planning two prescribed burns to benefit wildlife habitat and to prevent the threat of potential wildfire. The burns will begin the week of April 22, 2013 and will continue until completed, depending on weather and vegetation conditions.

The 6,600-acre East Magdalena II burn is located 15 miles southeast of Magdalena, New Mexico and 20 miles southwest of Socorro, NM. The dominate vegetation is ponderosa pine, mix conifer and piñon/juniper with light to moderate grass cover.
The 2,300-acre Gallinas burn is located 13 miles northwest of Magdalena, New Mexico. The dominate vegetation is piñon/juniper with light to moderate grass cover.

Prior to igniting of these two burns, the Magdalena Ranger District will ensure that there is a favorable weather forecast and that the required personnel and equipment are on hand. Fire management crews will monitor the burn for as long as necessary to ensure public safety.

During these prescribed burns, there may be delays when traveling on some of the following forest roads:

For the East Magdalena II burn, there may be some delays on Forest Roads (FR) 235, 235B and 406.
On the Gallinas burn delays may occur on Forest Roads 10, 10D, 10E and 12.

There will be additional fire vehicles patrolling and monitoring the area. Please drive carefully when on these roads, as visibility might be lower due to smoke. Use caution and drive with your headlights on. Smoke will be visible along US Highway 60 for both burns.

For more information contact the Magdalena Ranger District at 575-854-2281 or email cwolfe@fs.fed.us.

The End of an Era: Mary Mac’s in Magdalena Bids Farewell July 15, 2012

Good times @ Mary Macs (Photos courtesy of Kelly Gatlin, La Luz Photography)

Direct from the owner, Ann Fillion:

I have made the decision to close Mary Mac’s Cafe in Magdalena next month. There have been problems with the building and ownership that are not being resolved. We have a great staff and have been continually building a solid clientele which has made it hard for me to make this decision.

Thank you so much for supporting Mary Mac’s! We will be open through Sunday, July 15th. Regular hours, plenty of food through the Old Timer’s weekend. Hope you can stop by! Daily specials, pies, and cakes. Not to mention ICE CREAM!

This will be my last restaurant venture. Everything restaurant related is for sale. If you would like to see the list of items for sale when it is ready, please email me here. Nothing will leave until Monday, July 16th. This includes the map tables, antique display case, as well as the restaurant equipment and smallwares, both in use at Mary Mac’s and the items stored in Datil.

The list will be available online soon.

Have a wonderful day!

Ann

Good-bye, Mary Mac’s – we’ll miss you!

Bang N Clang Bullets – on Highway 60 in Magdalena, NM (next to ZW – the Blacksmith) is committed to providing a high quality, reasonably priced product to reloaders everywhere. Bang N Clang Bullets came about by the owners’ interest in Cowboy Action Shooting – As a participant, it became apparent that shooters needed soft lead bullets which are not readily available for reloading. Buying pre-loaded ammunition is too expensive for shooters. Reloading their caliber is a must. As a result, casting proper lead bullets for CAS at an affordable price became apparent. Bang N Clang Bullets are available in the most popular caliber sizes for cowboy shooters. Contact us atinfo@bangnclangbullets.com or call us at 1-575-854-3664.
