Victorio Peak and crossing the Rio Grande

Victorio Peak, San Andres Mountains, New Mexico (photo courtesy of Wikipedia) As soon as I left Hatch I entered uncharted territory -- I'm now "exploring" parts of New Mexico that I've never been to before. Maybe someday I can do it for real . Last night I reached Victorio Peak in the San Andres Mountains. According to Wikipedia, Victorio Peak was one of Chief Victorio's hideouts, and was the site of a battle in 1880 between Victorio 's Apaches and the U.S. Army Ninth Cavalry " Buffalo Soldiers ." Additionally, gold prospector Milton "Doc" Noss claimed to have found hidden treasure inside the Mountains in the late 1930s. Speaking of treasure, supposedly there's still a cache of gold inside of Victorio Peak , which was featured in not one, but two episodes of Unsolved Mysteries in 1989 and 1990. How cool is that? I love random mysteries (along with roadside attractions). So far no gold has been recovered...as far as we kn

Indigenous Peoples' Day

Wow, the subject of my last post really threw me for a loop. It's been hard to get back to it. Which means I'm not sure where I am on the landscape as I "walk" from Tucson to NYC , although I'm somewhere between Carrizozo and Corona, New Mexico (that last location is a little on the nose). Today, though, I want to acknowledge the Native lands I've passed through along the way to get "here." My friend E suggested I do this a while ago as I research the locations I "walk" through, and today seemed like a good day to start. Partly because today, for the first time, Arizona is recognizing Indigenous Peoples' Day . I hope it won't be the last. If you haven't found it already, Native Lands is a website that allows you to search locations throughout the world to learn more about the Native peoples who once lived or continue to live there. The disclaimer states that the map does not represent or intend to represent official or le

So where do you get your kicks?

Once again I seem to have fallen behind in documenting my virtual trek across the country to meet up with my friends Kim and Heidi in the time of COVID . Time to catch up! First, though, I'd like to acknowledge the Native lands that I've crossed since leaving Duran, New Mexico : Jicarilla Apache [Gáuigú (Kiowa) Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche) Mescalero Apache I encourage everyone to learn more about each of these Native peoples. I'll also mention that last week not only did I finally reach 500 miles trekked in my backyard ... ...but also Heidi, Kim, and I officially reached the half-way point on our virtual trek toward each other , meaning collectively we've walked and biked 1,211 miles since May 20. Yay, us! Which means we're looking at at least another 5 months and 12 days (most likely longer) before we "meet" somewhere in the middle of the country. Yay, us? While Kim and Heidi have now covered five states and are making their way across Indianapolis, I continue
