Thanks for the all the positive responses everyone. It was a good and
challenging trip for me and I'm glad that it resonated with a few of you as
well.
I'm not sure about that "recording prohibited" sign. Guess I never thought
too much about it. I assumed the Forest Service was trying to

Thanks for the report & photos. It's great that you took the time to
document your trip. I was puzzled by the sign prohibiting recording
devices. Cameras? Videos? Sound recording? Having the backpacking
experience sounds like an excellent background for being in such wild
country. T
Great job John! The pics are wonderful - I've visited the Silver City area
and think there may have been some serious climbing but also serious
scenery.

John, I love your write-up, and I can especially relate to this, "*didn’t
have the right bike, too hot, too windy, too little water, not enough time,
not in good enough shape, not safe to go alone, and on and on and on." *Though

Thanks -- some 550 and 4, but much much less.
Do you know: would one have to get advance permission to ride across tribal
land?

Patrick-- the RailRunner is your friend. Roll your bike onto the train,
get off at the Santo Domingo stop and the Jemez is a short spin away.
Years ago I lived near Madrid and rode over into the Jemez from the
southeast corner through the Dixon Apple Orchard. Good riding there.

Congratulations John for making your adventure happen! I have been in the
Chiricahuas just once fighting the Horseshoe2 wildfire in 2011. They are
special mountains.
I like your thought that you packed for your fears instead of your
confidence. Your bike bags look small enough, it doesn't appe
