Damn. After typing that out I'm disappointed AF now. Maybe I can make it work... Not spreading ashes until Sunday in Cloudcroft....
That sounds dope as hell. I've done some 'splorin on bikes to the south, and there are tons of gates and such that direction. Not a good comparison obviously, but that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun somedayFigure out a way to get to mountainair via dirt. I've Google earthed the hell out of it. There's a ton of through roads but haven't been able to get down there to see what's gated and such.
Yeah I could do coyote canyon fine. There are one or two optionals in that one he might be entertained byCoyote Canyon (not Coyote Hills which most people misnomer as Canyon) is doable in a stock rig, or at least was last time I was down there.
There's also go-arounds to the only two "hard" parts these days. EZ.Lower Armado depending on how the rain flowed. Can always up and back that if it's washed out.
Hidden valley. I'm actually fairly confident I could go up that with some patience and him spotting me. 35s and a 65:1 crawl ratio go a long way for a bone stock truck. Might drag rockers on the top of that slab fall thoughJust blanked the name of the one going to Squeeze. That has the big slab waterfall as the first obstacle? That's doable stock if you run it backwards. Go down the wash and up over the hill to the super steep downhill into squeeze. Make a left then loop it back to the wash. Great directions I know.
Catching up on the new season. 😆👍
Unfortunately just got word that we will be spreading my grandfather's ashes that weekend so we're out. Y'all have fun.
Wheeelp, looks like this is gonna be interesting then. '84 Bronco II Unless you have some kind of interest in doing the Barite mine loop, anything my bronco can do won't be super interesting. I'm always up for a ride-along though. Long as it's worth it to you lol

I also wouldn't be opposed to giving Pucker a whirl, but the great escape with no lockers gets poopy real fast, especially with how much rain wash is probably on it.
If we're talking dirt road pretty freaking easy exploring (like trying to link to mountainair) then we'll (maybe) come in the Touareg for the day then bail to cloud sat night. But I'm not hitting things like Coyote or Armado
Don't threaten me with a good timeI think you'd be wishing you had lockers well before the Great Escape.
Oh hell yeah, I've seen people camping there before. No wind is a YUGE plus if you wanna stay up BSing all nightIf you dont have tow rigs, I've camped up in the exit of Coyote a few times. Nice and secluded, never any wind down in there.

24 on friday? Oof.I will almost certainly be trailering, so take that into account. I've never camped out there, so I have no input. Looks like it's going to be a cold one:
I'm out. Survived Moab but had some issues pop up along with most of the people I wheel with either having issues or going down for maintenance. Probably be out for most of winter working on a 60 swap.
I still like the idea of hanging around socorro because I go to the puerco a lot, but fuel isn't free so if you want to just have a little bonfire friday then dink around out thataway that'd be fine. Maybe to a full roll down to Laguna for lunch? that'd shake it up a tadSucks to hear that, did you actually break the Dana 44, or is the 60 swap a preemptive measure?
willis_racing sounds like it's just the two of us at this point. Do you still want to do Socorro, or do you want to maybe do something closer?
Mostly preemptive although there is play in the ball joint hole on the axle side. I'd like to get a bit more reliable since almost every time I'm out with the family.Sucks to hear that, did you actually break the Dana 44, or is the 60 swap a preemptive measure?
If we went to soco, taking the opportunity to go hike/walk a few trails that have been opened up after I moved actually sounds kinda fun
Cool, that sounds like a fun plan. I should charge up my RC battery tooI'm down with that. I would like to finish hiking Secret and check out Jim's Jynx as well.
Jesus. I just wanted an excuse to hang out and drink for awhilewillis_racing how set are you on camping? Every time I check the weather forecast, it keeps getting colder Friday night
Currently down to 19°F

That's getting pretty retarded cold though. If you're not into it I'll just drive down and sleep at my buddies' place, and meet up with you in the morning. or hell i'd ride with you the whole ass trip and split fuel too, none of it really matters in the grand scheme
