CDE Day 19 Calaveras Well to almost El Dado

After the previous days recovery adventure we thought the tough stuff was behind us. What should have been an easy jaunt from EL Rito to Grants, with the hope of a campground, internet access and even a shower became something else entirely. Little did we know that this day would bring, a ranchers warning, lots of rain and another night stuck in the wild looking for a way forward.

CDE Day 20 El Dado (almost Grants) to Meason Flat (almost Silver City)

This was our day to test our recovery gear to it's limits, and to find out just how well a land anchor would work. But we were rewarded for our efforts when we crossed through Pie-Town along with more of natures beauty as we drew closer to our goal and the final days of the expedition.

I am now have an illness that does not allow me to ride or work, but I want to take this trip again in the Jeep. With a copilot, I hope to do it next summer.
