The United States Army established Fort Bayard as an installation offering protection for miners and settlers in 1866. It’s now deserted and a trail system winds around the area. We rode here a couple years ago and Derek rode...
Continental Divide Trail – Silver City
After spending winter in Arizona, we are now in Silver City, NM. We came through here a couple years ago and really liked the forest and recreational opportunities. Boondocking outside town at around 6000′ we are still getting some...
