West Fork Mogollon – Gila Wilderness, New Mexico
Our
extensive exploring has exposed many unknown wonders in the 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...!!!
We have now made “his info” as well as our own
findings digital and public.

*Lookout
Ridge Trail was tree-blazed decades ago... but was never completed. The old tree blazes can still be seen today.
