John drove into the Coral at 6 02, and explained he loved to be punctual. We loaded our gear into the front compartment of his trailer and the horses into the back. It was a big comfortable trailer, and the horses, seamed to be glad to get in. It was a 3 hour drive on a dirt road to Cuba, and when we got there, we had brackfast at the Cuban coffe shop.. Other CDT Hikers where there also and the news spread fast, that the Trail through Santa Fee National Park was closed, because of fire danger. Riding another 50 miles next to the highway, was not what we had in mind, so we desided to trailer on and drive up to Chama. Johne was telling us, about all the different jobs he had had, and that he owned property here and there and that he was married close to 55 years.
In Chama we found a coral at the Elk Ridge Lodge and unloaded the gear and the horses. We went shopping and the woman at the Lodge organized a forest officer called Marry, to come down to talk to us, about the trail up to Chama Pass and further to Wolf Creek Pass. We where informed that snow was not going to be a problem, till the big bow in the trail, and water and feed should be plenty. Beetle damaged forrest with lots of treefalls would be the bigger concern, and we should just try our luck. We invited Mary to our Grill steak Dinner and enjoyed her Company till bedtime.
