    I wish you could make it, too. We'll get one done sooner or later.

    No deadline, let us know when you know.

    Just brush twice that day.

    It looks like we'll definitely be in the 4Runner. I'll be bringing Rene, the girls, and the dogs so not enough room in the truck.

    We are going to parlay this into a grander family adventure. I got a hotel in Socorro for the night, so we'll be heading that way at days end to get some time in the pool, eat, and refresh. On Tuesday we're going to wake up and make the drive down to White Sands to play more.

    That's what I'm talking about, guys! Glad to see some people making it out.

    As far as a meeting location on Monday, we usually try to do something near the freeway (I25) with a big parking lot. I'm thinking:

    1. Lowes parking lot, Paseo Del Norte / I25, SE corner of intersection -or-
    2. Dirt lot near Discount Tire, Montano / I25, NE corner of intersection

    Both are kind of central to ABQ, we could also do something at the south end, which worked well the last time we ran Monticello

    3. Motel 6 parking lot, Av. Cesar Chavez / I25, SE corner of intersection

    Any thoughts?

    Discount tire lot would work great for us

    But Lowe’s on Paseo wouldn’t be bad either

    Yeah, a functioning rear differential is a rig requirement for this run. Do you have a diff on the way yet?

    We'll definitely be taking a sled or two. How were the daytime temps, fairly comfortable? That is one heck of a field trip... my schools always took us to the zoo or the museum.

    The tundra looks right at home with the colors down there.

    Nope. I need to get under it and see what's up. There is also something up with the front end thatf I need to address. So lots of issues. Maybe a mod day at my house will be in the future to get everyone involved?

    Yay........this is all on flat ground.

    Passenger side...

    Drivers side...

    We have to head south anyway, so I like either the Motel 6 at Av Cesar Chavez, or the Discount Tire dirt lot on Montgomery. Since that seems to be good with you guys, lets do the dirt lot at the NE corner of Montgomery / I25 next to Discount Tire. There is a gas station there, too, in case anyone needs to top off.

    Uh... yeah, that doesn't look right.
