The Friends of the Cumbres and Toltec strive for accuracy in all that they do. After all, The Friends are primarily a historical preservation and interpretation organization. As such, corrections to errors are encouraged. If you wish to correct false information, please post these in a factual manner without resorting to “editorial comment” and/or personal attacks. Negative threads of the “he said, she said” variety will not be tolerated. Speculation and hypothetical discussion should be avoided
During Work Sessions, breaks and lunches are a great time to get together and visit with other members. This forum is intended to be a way for that sense of community and family to continue year-round.
