Each May, somewhere around Mother's Day, the AMIGOS membership meets for a week of camping, fishing and story telling. The setting is the Quemado Lake Campground located on the Gila NF. There are plenty of activities for everyone, from bird watching to horseshoes, and lots of time for catching up with friends. Each year there is a fishing tournament to see who can catch the biggest fish, or tell the biggest fishing story.
