MOUNT TAYLOR, June 15, 2007.
Erin camped at the Lobo Canyon campground at the southwestern base of Mount Taylor (named for President Zachary Taylor). To get there she had a long ride up highway 117 to Grants, New Mexico where she crossed over IH 40. On the way through Grants they rode right by 2 prisons complete with guard towers, razor wire and detainees pumping iron in the yard. She entered Cibola National Forest getting off the highway and back on "real trail".
On May 7th Erin departed on a 5 month 3100 mile ride on the Continental Divide Trail. This blog chronicles her preparation and travels. Please leave your comments. See her website www.ridethegreatdivide.com for sponsorship opportunities

Bon matin Madamaselle!!!
Just turning light here -- I spect the mules are braying or E-awh-ing and calling for their morning rations. I'm just tuning in to say "Have a great great day!" Love you & waiting for your next progress report. Oh, by the way, Mount Taylor could be named after your cousin, Zachary Taylor Zwiener!!! Little GM
I forwarded your blog info to many relatives and friends and a lot of them are following your adventure. They say "Go girl", "What a great thing to do" and marvel at your grit. Hope things are going well,
AZ Grandma
