Thread Name: Origins:The Goodnight-Loving Trail (Utah Phillips)
Subject: RE: The midnight loving trail
Jenn and I went down to Carlsbad last week, and drove along the trace of the Goodnight-Loving Trail for a while. I can certainly feel the wind referred to in the song whipping up. We also visited Ft. Sumner briefly: the state of New Mexico owns it now, and much of it is used for a reformatory.
