No, I am not claiming I lived there in a past life, but I have been there as a teenager, and also in the Chiricahua Mountains, which you posted about a week or so ago.
In the summers of 1979 and 1980 I was a "Trekker" in the Prairie Trek (Cottonwood Gulch Foundation) in Thoreau, NM. Ever heard of it? It's an amazing organization that was founded by a fellow named Hillis Howie from Indianapolis back in the 1920s I believe, who was still running it in the 1950s when my Dad was a Trekker. Mr. Howie was gone but not forgotten when my brother and I participated, and is legendary to this day as well.
The base camp is in Thoreau (pronounce "threw" by the locals as I recall). Trekkers spend 1/3 of the 7 weeks there and 2/3s of the time on the road exploring the 4 corner states. At the base camp, Trekkers live in open cabins and on the road in canvas tents, or just under tarps on hikes.
Such a beautiful and mystical part of the world.
