Big Dry Creek Map – Gila Wilderness, New Mexico
Our
extensive exploring has exposed many unknown wonders in the high Mogollon Range
of the Gila Wilderness, New Mexico. We
now wish to share all of our findings with you via this map below. This is the ONLY map of its kind on
earth. Please enjoy it and share it with
ANY and ALL.
Also of special interest is a discovery we have
recently stumbled onto. Check this
out: For years we have heard about a
“phantom” trail repairman in the Gila Wilderness, who has long been repairing
and maintaining trails that the feds have discontinued and abandoned. Nate Bartnick and I
caught him...!!! RED HANDED...!!!
We caught
him with his tools “in hand” repairing his favorite trail: Rain Creek Divide
Trail.
Gasp...!!!
Should we “NUKE” him…???? ...or
just scold him. Maybe better yet, turn
him over to the “feds” to prosecute...for trespass and vandalism...!!!
Quite rather... we appreciate him. He wishes to remain anonymous... But WOW...
he is doing a gigantic public service...!!!
He has faithfully corrected the many mistakes on USGS Topos. At 75 years
of age, he has correctly GPS’ed trails, springs and
count-less other existing features... into their correct locations on his
maps...!!! His maps are pencil &
“white-out” on USGS paper quads.
We have now made “his info” as well as our own
findings digital and public.

300’ high Chasm Falls is AMAZING... a
tributary of upper Big dry Creek
...and 300’ high Sacaton
Falls is not too far away...
