After another night in New Mexico’s forest, I was bound and determined to get to Jemez Falls. The only way I knew how was to walk through the closed campgrounds or go to the East Fork Trailhead. I thought the walk through the campground would be shorter for Petey, so I chose that route which ended up being at least 1.5 miles on a paved road before we got to the short trail.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
It turned out that a geocache was hidden just down the road from where I camped in Carson National Forest. I found it not too far from another makeshift campground which included a homemade toilet – a wooden box with a toilet seat covering the hole. After finding the cache, we took 84 south past farmland to Echo Amphitheater, a natural echo chamber carved into a sandstone cliff by wind and water.
Petey joined me on the short, paved walk to the cliff where I hollered GO MAVS and listened as the walls repeated my exclamation. This location in New Mexico is also a virtual cache, so I got to log another one!
