Well, I was told by a very reliable source that the Warm Springs Rez is sacred ground. White men not welcome, is kinda how the message came across. So, No. 2 son and I set out on a quest to see if we could find this abandoned reservation. We know it is at the southwestern section of the Cibola National Forest, a little north and east of Winston, NM. Yesterday, we drove up Highway 52, up past the junction of Highway 59 and almost to Dusty. The road was gravel after the hwy 59 junction and I did not take my pickup, so we took it very slow and finally just gave up on looking. There are no road markers announcing the Rez or signs pointing anything out to the driver. We did not stop and ask. There is a General Store there in Winston and it was open, we should have mentioned it to him to get his opinion. We did not go up there to  try and get on the place, we just wanted to see where it was and if anything was available to view…Well, it ain’t…Ojo Caliente is somewhere around up there..That’s the one that gave the Warm Springs Tribe their name. Chief Victorio and Cochise and Geronimo all believed in the cureative powers of this hot spring. I did locate it on Goggle Earth upon our return, but it looks to be very rugged country and hiking country.. Not much of a trail, and I think that is by design…. I was surprised at the pronghorns near the road. (we got some pictures and if possible I will post a couple.) No. 2 and I were both surprised by the lay of the land. Hilly, but not nearly as mountainious as we had antipicated. If we had taken Highway 59, heading due west from Highway 52, we would have gone into the heart of the Black Range. From our vantage point yesterday we could see why they are named the Black Range. They were black and rain clouds were hovering all over them and all around us for that matter. It was a good trip and while we did not see the actual reservation, we know about where they lived and we can understand why Chief Victorio did not want to leave…America said, “move on Chief, you are standing in the way of progress”…..I think it is sad…That is how I view it anyway……
