One day me and a friend decieded to go hang out in the mountains.We drove out to the jemez(pronounced hay-mez)foothills.These mts are actually a GIANT volcano.The area we went to was on the south side of the mts.The foothills consisted of giant v shaped valleys.The walls of the canyons were huge cliffs of stone beyond the forest that were in the floor of each valley.we drove into one of the valleys on a road past a stream in the forest.We got out of the car when we came to a metal roadblock set by the forest service.We got out of the car and went down to the stream for a while and drank some beer.

After a while we went on up the road past the roadblock.We came to a heavily wooded glade and came upon 3wild bulls not cows(I guess they were wild,cause they did'nt have brands or bells or collars)eating grass in the glade.they looked at us as we walked past them.They were about 5 ft away from us on the road.

After that about a 1/4 mile up the road we came to a very large cliff right against the road.In the middle of the cliff right above the ground was a small(4 ft)"doorway".It was a "door"shaped hole in the rock that went straight into the mountain.It looked very dark and looking at it gave me the feeling that I should not be near it.I looked at my friend and he said "lets get away from that thing,its weird."

I agreed and we kept walking up the logging road.We came to a point where the road started going up the side of the cliffs.After going up the road a little while we saw some tracks.They were like 2 "sled" tracks side by side.As wide as the roadFurther up the road we saw these tracks on parts of the road that were washed away by erosion.some spots were so thin that we could only go by single file past the washed out area.This was getting pretty high on the cliff.The "tracks"were very deep(like they were made by something very heavy) and very fresh,and they went over the washed out spots and kept right on going.A jeep could not get by those washed out areas.

We were finally on top of the cliffs and could see down into the valley we came from.The tracks kept going still.The road started to go down into the next valley by now and the tracks were still going.It was getting dark by now so we thought we did'nt want to hike back in the dark.We did'nt bring a flashlight.so we stopped and turned around.We were pretty far from the car by now.So we started more or less running down the road cause it was getting dark pretty fast.

About half way down the road we saw what looked like a wolf in the road staring at us.I know there are no wolves left in N.M.But I also know what a wolf lookes like.Its not a husky,its not a coyote.I saw a wolf.It would watch us and then run away down the road and wait till we could see it then run away again letting us get very close each time.That's how I got a good look at it.At this point mybuddy pulled out his gun that he had with him.when we finally got to the bottom of the valley we did'nt see the animal anywhere.When we went past the rock wall the door was gone also.we did see the bulls.When we got to the car we left then and there.To thsi day I don't know what that door was what made those tracks and what that animal was.
