SANTA FE, NM – The New Mexico State Parks Division is seeking public input on the San Juan River portion of its Navajo Lake State Park Management Plan with a new survey. The five-year plan is in the process of being updated through the year 2030.
“Thousands of visitors flock to Navajo Lake State Park and the San Juan River each year as an outstanding outdoor recreational area and world-class fly-fishing destination,” said Toby Velasquez, State Parks Director. “A management plan for the park, and the portion of the river inside the park, is essential in guiding us toward short-term and long-range goals that will help sustain the park for generations to come. The public must be a part of this process and we welcome their input through our survey, so that we may incorporate their ideas into the management plan.”

The Atomic Rocketeer To Premier At The Flickinger Center

The Atomic Rocketeer is a 2024 documentary from Larry L. Sheffield that tells the complete story of Wernher Von Braun, the German scientist and his band of German Rocketeers that was acquired by the Americans days after the fall of Germany. The film tells the untold story about Von Braun’s efforts to build a novel weapon to win WW2 which became the largest project ever taken on by Hitler and his Nazi command. The results didn’t turn the tide of the war for the Germans but did gain the intense interest of the United States which led to a secret mission called “Operation Paperclip” which culminated in the US taking on the Nazi dream of rockets and pivoting the German efforts to America’s advantage, despite the cost.
