The Chief Ranger at El Malpais called me this morning and I had a great visit with him. Although he is not responsible for anything at C of C, he is intimately familiar with the the whole area. I explained what our team was about and he confirmed that CR 42 is indeed in good shape, and absent any gullywashers, will be easily passable when we are out there. He said that basically any road in the area that is physically accessible is ours to utilize. The area is crisscrossed with many logging, ranching and hunting roads and he said that the chief problem will be mud immediately following rains.
Inquired about the weather and he said that we could expect 40 degree nights and 60 to 70 degree days. Good chance of rains during mid-May as well.
I asked if we could come by and visit and but unfortunately he is retiring at the end of April and said that he would not be around.
It would appear that we can cache supplies and water pretty much anywhere we choose.
