Las Cruces: Labor Day Weekend

I'll be out at noon on Friday, and can easily make the drive from Lubbock to Las Cruces after class. However, I guess I never realized how freakin' close Las Cruces was to El Paso, so i'll have to meet up with y'all somewhere Friday night

 

What time are we heading onto the trail Friday? Just trying to see how early I would need to depart where ever I end up camping Thursday night

 

Friday evening, not sure of the exact time. Won't take long from there to get to the camp site

 

If it's like 6pm, then I could even drive in that day... leave Austin at 8am

 

I was doing some research and found a few trails in the area. Unsure if these are on our plan or not, but I thought I would share anyhow:

Dona Ana:

Upper Broad:

Caballo Lake Trail:

Hopping Jalepeno:

I was thinking of just diving aimlessly into the mountains, but doing some marked trails might be fun as well. And with a name like Hopping Jalapeno...

 

Sounds like it would go well with some Tacos!

 

Both

 

DAMMIT!!!!

I'm out.

Wife just called. Her orders came in and she's going to have training over that weekend. I was willing to take the 5yo with me but also including the younger 2yo makes things considerably more difficult -- especially for several days.

 

I should have the AAL's and axel shims installed before the trip so the ass end wont be all saggy!

Looks like it will be just me on this trip as the GF is working the holiday at the hospital. My son could still join, but he hasnt shared with me yet if he wants to. It would actually be alright with me if he chooses not to

Ill probably end up borrowing @ChadsPride's Hi-lift again unless I get one before.

 

I got you @riz_atx ​

 

I'm going to be in Port A at this time

​

 

Lol, oh yeah. Probably won't be taking the wife there.

I do plan on surf fishing like none other.

 

I haven't posted anywhere but TW

TBH it's looking shaky for me too... which sucks

I'll have to see closer to the date

 

I hope it works out!

Ive taken that Friday off

 

How tough will the trails be? Have any of you run them before? What do you think @CedarPark think I'll be able to run the whole trail? Ill be bringing a hi lift with me and I'll have a trans skid installed by then but other than that I'm still the same set up as hidden falls. Is @Toyboata gonna be joining?

 

Zeb's gonna be up north. You should be fine though.

 

You going to be able to make it?

 

I'll be driving in from Austin, leaving here Thursday afternoon and camping somewhere along the way likely.

 

I'll go if you go

I should be able too, only coin toss is it's after the start of classes but fuck it
