Here is the view from very near the campsite:
After a long climb from Antonio Colorado, the Steam Engine takes on water at the Cumbres Pass station elevation 10,022 feet.

An old Motorola E815 Cellular telephone with a gigabyte memory card in it. The memory card permits three minutes of video. The phone has traveled many miles and is due to be replaced. Did you think that your eyes were getting blurry ? He, he . . . . .

I know you're trying to save some weight with that Oliver of yours, but you should splurge and move up from the cell phone camera to at least a small point and shoot.

If you're going to be camping in many places most of us cant bring our bigger campers too, at least get some decent shots to make us all drool over

I'm very jealous of your set up! A Jeep and a Oliver is one sweet way to RV!

Is that a Class A, or C, or bus, that I see in your picture?

If so, it must not be too hard to get up there and boondock in a small "non-jeep" rig like many of us mortals have?!

Cumbres Pass is real easy to get to with any kind of rig. We've overnighted there several times on our way to Chama. The parking lot of the RR depot is just off the highway, and the dirt backroads in the area lead to some real easy sites to get to. Also there is a road to Trujillo Lake and Trujillo Meadows campground that has NFS campsites.

There are other areas for boondocking along Hwy 17 from Antonito to Chama that are easy access from the highway.

I was around the Sublette area around the 16th of June. The short road down to Sublette was rough even in my truck. I rode alongside the Antonito train on my dual sport bike but unfortunatley deleted all of those pictures except the one of the train taking on water at Sublette. http://caver.smugmug.com/photos/326955893_vJJuB-S.jpg
