Ten miles out of Pie Town before the turn off of CR 41 would be a perfect
spot to break- get stocked up on water and then head up into the Cebolla
Wilderness.  This is looking better and better.

The trail angels north of Pie Town were the Thomases.  They are great people
and expect you to stop.  They were about 10 miles north of Town if I'm
remembering right and some of the sweetest folks on trail.  After that you
branch off right on a dirt road past some fascinating old pueblo ruin sites,
(don't miss them) and then into Sand Canyon which had a working windmill and
good camping right there.  Then it's on to El Malpais and one gorgeous lava
crossing.  One spot in the middle with a few big Jeffrey pines, but other
than that, almost nowhere to camp as the lava will cut you to pieces.  Don't
even think of falling on it.  The Mumms (bless them both) have a water cache
at the start and later on the road leading into Grants.  This was on the Ley
alternate.

 

Man, I hope I'm remembering this right!  Check your maps.
