New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Anyone have a log splitter I could rent for a day?

 

If you can’t find one highland rental is usually priced pretty decent

 

For those wondering, it was not closed today.

 

Was there much snow up there?

 

Yeah, the trail was covered with it. But it turned back to dirt at a certain point.

 

@Darth ToyTaco, can/will your wife make this?

 

Haha yes she can.... and probably would.

 

Yes

 

Let me know if you still have these I’ll take them off your hand

 

I already claimed them

 

Hey Guys, a few friends and i are headed to overland west and are looking for some good trails to hit in your area. any recommendations?

 

Down East is in one the Carolinas right? If that's where you're coming from im assuming you guys are planning on taking I-40 straight through? If that's the case there really isn't a whole lot near I-40 but I can make some recommendations for a couple of quick trials. If you're willing to make a detour either north or south there are more options. What kind of trails are you all looking for?

 

Just a reminder guys the brewery meetup is next week.

Date: Thursday February 6th
Time: 5:30pm
Where: Differential Brewery - 500 Yale Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106

Just to annoy members that have been active recently, I know some of you are from out of town: @Darth ToyTaco @TacoIII @pigger @Horger12 @CAG Gonzo @MARSHBUSTER @Hawks4life @abqnurse80 @NMroamer @smw62891 @gr8tacsprt10 @Whitecloud @Boss_Taco_177

 

im willing to go an hour or so out of the way to get some good trails. we are all running midsized trucks that will be modified so it can be some good hard trails. nothing crazy tho

 

For sure here is a list of a few places, if there is something you're interested in I can give you more info on them as well and some gpx info for routes.

Near Albuquerque I-40:
1. Cedro Peak - Easy to moderate trail about 8 miles long usually takes about 2 hours taking your time. There are some sections of boulders, drops, a few flexy spots, and two fairly technical sections that both have bypasses.

Near Rio Rancho about 45min to the trailhead from I-40/I-25 intersection:
1. Rio Puerco - the trails out there are pretty endless mostly through dry river beds but there are plenty of obstacles out there for a day worth of wheeling anything from easy to extreme.

Near Socorro about an hour south from I-40/I-25 intersection:
1. Gordy's Hill OHV area - much like the Rio Puerco a lot of trails through dry river beds but also plenty of wheeling for a day+ and everything ranging from easy to extreme.
If that area seems like something you're interested in I'd suggest taking HWY 60 out of NM and into AZ. You all can drop by the Very Large Array, stop in Pie town for Pie, then continue into AZ along that HWY into the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and there are some good wheeling and a few cool towns along the way to Flagstaff (Payson & Sedona).

 

Awesome thanks man. Time line puts us in nm on Thursday the 14th if anyone else wants to join

No, Bradbury Stamm. They're a sub on one of sites.
