McElmo was the area of Colorado where the Pueblo Indians lived  
(before the Utes and Navajos).  It's the "McElmo Watershed" now.    
This is where Reef traveled bringing Webb's body back to Telluride  
from Jeshomon.

"During the ride back up to  Telluride, among tablelands and canons  
and red-rock debris, past the stone farmhouses and fruit orchards and  
Mormon spreadds of the McElmo, below ruins hauntd by an ancient  
people whose name no one knew, circular towers and cliffside towns  
abandoned now for reasons no one would speak of."   (pg 214)
