About the Ride:
Join us as we enter our 6th year of retracing and riding Billy the Kid’s travels after his infamous escape from the Lincoln County jail in 1881. Share the adventure of the New Mexico landscape, experiencing over 125 miles of mountains, desert plains, and the Pecos River country. Ranchers along the way will host us, just as they did during Billy’s ride to Fort Sumner.

After each day on the trail, ranch camps will provide a chance for respite, a laugh or two, and an opportunity to learn about the history of Billy the Kid. Many of the people who live on the land that Billy once rode over have “Billy Stories” that are fun and entertaining to hear. You will long remember the warm hospitality and excellent food of our ranch camp hosts and caterers. The cowboy taxi service will be available to transport your gear from camp to camp and/or to rescue tired travelers...man or beast.

The ride is a “Wild at Heart” sort of adventure. An unforgettable eight days of enchanted New Mexico, over 125 miles and seven ranch camps, starry skies and campfires, history and memories to last a lifetime.

Riders will be accepted on a first-pay, first-ride basis. There will be additional charges for riders needing special arrangements. Contact Rex Buchman for more information. Read Rex's invitation letter.
