The Ignacio Chavez SMA lies amid the remains of an array of cultural periods. Chacoan era ruins have been uncovered, and evidence of Spanish habitation during the 18th century can be found in the adobe rancheros that dot the area.
Representing the Anglo-European end of the historical spectrum is the old stage station at Ojo Azabache on the route from Santa Fe to old Fort Wingate. During the 1870s, this route ran through the area just north of the Ignacio Chavez Grant along County Road (CR) 25. Stagecoach drivers and passengers no doubt used Cabezon Peak and other nearby volcanic plugs as landmarks. The area is fenced off from cattle.
We parked right off of CR-25 and walked the very short distance to the hide spot. Road is accessable when dry-very doubtful if wet. High clearance recommended.
Congrats to 
for the FTF!!!
