Multi-Day Four Corners Area Meet, 7/10/10

Gonna be a long trip, but gonna be worth it!

Just got to finish up my supplies, and gear.

 

no shit me same here still have a few odds and ends to figure out

 

PM me your route. I'd like to hook up on the way out if it makes sense.

 

2 spares

 

That's awesome. Now to find room amongst everything else.

 

Do you have a campsite planned for Friday night?

Like I said, two spares is good for an oddball tire size. Especially when we're up in Colorado. That scree has edges like razorblades.

 

Nope, no campsite yet. Haven't looked for that yet. Any suggestions? I pulled my new tent out tonight, and noticed it's a 4 person tent! Gonna go get a smaller on this weekend. Should be in Farmington between 8 and 10.

 

A 4 person is probably fine but I have an extra 2 person tent you can use if you wish. I think Alex said he has an extra too. If you want to camp close, Navajo Reservoir (pay site) is 30 minutes away but there are several areas between Albuquerque and here that are nice and would still leave you a fairly short drive in the morning (2 hours max). Angel Peak and Chaco Canyon are both pay sites that should be nice. If you want free, I'd suggest disappearing up in the Jemez mountains east of Cuba. Just find a dirt road and pick a spot. They're everywhere.

 

When I drove home from DFW because the airports were closed (nightmare story), I went Amarillo, Tucumcari, Albuquerque, and up. Is that what route you're taking?

Andrew, how are you coming?

 

North to Amarillo where I'm going to meet up with Brian and we'll take I-40 into NM.

 

Sounds like the route we're taking in. Thanks for the ideas the camping. I'll probably go ahead and pick up a smaller tent, I am sure I'll need it again. Thanks for the offer.
Do you know a final count on partipants? Just curious.

 

I've updated the first post. The count is going down. I haven't heard from one or two on the list in a while so it may even be less. In fact, I've even removed the "closed" notice. No worries though. Honestly, the less we have, the more quality wheeling time we'll get in. I think a small group will make a better experience for all.

 

This is what always happens when planning a meet. There will always be a good number of people who bail for some reason or another.

Short of my clutch exploding or the gears in my transmission fusing together from overheating, I'll be there even though I'll need to head back earlier than I thought (probably Monday).

 

No Blanca, huh? You'll remain her bitch at least a little longer. You can stay for Monday's Poughkeepsie run, right?

 

I agree that we will be able to do a lot more, with fewer people.

I am more excited about this trip, than I was about our family vacation a couple of weeks ago. Somone wanted to go wheeling this weekend, and I truned em down, because I don't want to risk breaking anything, and hurt my chances about coming up.

My new shocks should be in on Tuesday. I'll throw those suckers on, and be ready to go.

 

Sweet guys I'm almost all set with my gear and I even got a surprise that you will all see at the 1st campsite, as kind of an accessory for the truck. My sliders will be put on today or tomorrow as soon as I can convince my mom to weld them. Yeah I said my mom. She is a welder and a really good one at that. we built some massively stout sliders. I'l post pics as soon as my computer stops being gay.

 

Can't wait to see whatever the surprise is, and those homemade sliders.

If you want to caravan in with Drew and myself, we will be coming through your area on the way.

 

That's the plan.

I guess we'll just have to conquer her on another trip

 

I think the guys from here were going to meet up at the home depot on 550 and 528 at 630 in the morning.

 

yup thats true we sure are! you guys are more than welcome to meet up with us if you guys are passing through some time around then
