[edit] Deleted stuff

I deleted the line about ascent by scouts and leaders, since it is (a) specific to scouts and access from the Scout Ranch, and (b) more like travel info than encyclopedic info.

I also deleted the line about the origin of the name, since (a) any mountain that high in NM is bald on top (above treeline), (b) I doubt the term "strip-mine" is correct, and (c) there's no source. -- Spireguy 05:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

I propose to move this to Baldy Mountain (New Mexico), since that is the official name. Comments? -- Spireguy 22:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. I request a move. The Pelican 23:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Nevermind. Baldy Mountain (New Mexico) is a disambiguation for the three Baldy Mountains in New Mexico. The Pelican 23:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry---I did the move and then created the disambig page a while back. -- Spireguy 19:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your desire to contribute to Wikipedia. Unfortunately your contribution was unsourced (and poorly spelled), so I removed it. If you can give a reliable source for such a statement, please do so. -- Spireguy 03:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Donation

I need some sources, but Baldy was given to the Philmont Scout Ranch in the 1960's. Before that, it had a small mining town at the base of it.
