Destination Questions
I've received a few questions from the group about our destination. Although you won't find Thompson Mountain on any map, we can't let that deter us from making the trek. The nearest town of any size is Datil, NM and the exact coordinates will be revealed later. Part of the fun of something like this is letting the mystery build.
This road trip will be a fantastic opportunity to experience a part of this great country you don't see very often. The drive to Thompson Mountain is spectacular with the sort of vistas that evoke memories of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, and the Old West.
I also received some questions about what we will be doing on the way. Below are just a few of the things to do on this road trip.
