Leaving for Wagon Mound

The crew, riders, volunteers, and veterinarians are en route to Wagon Mound, NM. Wagon Mound is the most prominent natural landmark on the complete Santa Fe Trail. For those of you wanting to find the Wagon Mound ride camp/race village, it is just off of State Hwy 120, immediately east of the village of Wagon Mound. The camp is very popular because there was always plenty of water, as there is still today. Wagon Mound is appoximately 100 miles north of Santa Fe off of I-25.

Directions and 19 Days To Go!!

(At the base of Wagon Mound, looking up!)


(Looking over to Wagon Mound from a gas station.)
I just got off the phone with Helen Lynn of Frewsburg, New York. I was able to go over a number of details about the ride and how to get to the start at base camp. Should anyone have any questions please call me 785/218-3265 or email me at sfthorserace@aol.com.
The camp at Wagon Mound is on the south side of Hwy 120.
There is only one exit off of I-25 into Wagon Mound. You will exit onto Hwy 120, travel east through Wagon Mound about 6-8 blocks, look on the right (south) and you can't miss the camp.
People will start to arrive on the 26th.
Safe travels to everyone!!
