Carson National Forest - Taos Ski Valley Hiking Trails (click here)
Some media is making a relationship between the death of a former White House chef and deaths in Afghanistan. I don't remember the DOD making that comparison. This occurred in New Mexico. The park is not far from two major interstates, I-25 and I-40. There is a greater possibility this is a result of drug dealers. It is a known fact drug cartels activity occurs in interstate rest areas and parks. There is either little to no activity to detect them or there is a lot of traffic, including foot traffic, to disguise them in plain site.

Authorities say (click here) they have found the body of former White House chef Walter Scheib.
The 61-year-old was missing for about a week. Search and rescue teams found his body on a trail in the mountains near Taos on the fifth day of their search.
"The former White House Executive Chef had not been seen since June 13, when he is believed to have embarked on a hike near Taos Ski Valley. Authorities said he is not known to informed anyone of his plans and was not believed to have been prepared for more than a day outdoors.
"Scheib's Subaru was found at the Yerba Canyon trail head off N.M. 150 Tuesday evening. A search-and-rescue mission was launched Wednesday focusing on the steep, four-mile trail as well as a network of parallel paths that lead up to Lobo Peak.
"Each day of the five-day effort involved dozens of volunteers, including some on horseback and others with dogs. A state police helicopter also undertook a search from the air but its flight crew found the forest below too thick to see the trail."
A man with such prestige could be a target of domestic terrorists, but, those carrying out the crime would have to be part of an extensive intelligence network. It doesn't make sense there were domestic terrorists following a former White House chef. Why follow him?
There could be the possibility there were domestic terrorists involved in his death, but, it would be because of monies earned from the drug trade.
The entire idea the USA isn't confronting the reality of the underground drug trade which is facilitated by the easy access to guns is a lack of responsibility. There is a huge opportunity for domestic terrorists to thrive in the USA through those dynamics. It's crazy not to destroy that network which has been a reality for decades in the USA.
The problem of the drug/gun economy in the USA is already international and extends into Mexico. Once in Mexico this network extends all the through the Americas to every country in South America. We know for a fact in the area of the narrowed land mass such as Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras the drug cartels are at war for control of those lands. Why continue to deny the USA has a problem that has been unresolved by law enforcement and empowering other countries to dismantle the cartels. It doesn't work.
The clock is running and the USA has never been successful in ending these cartels and the opportunity of funding for domestic terrorism networks. The infrastructure is already there.
If anyone believes they are seeing suspicious activity that could relate to drug activity, the police should be called and/or the FBI.
My sympathies to Mr. Scheib's family and friends. I am sure he was a really great person.
