NM Adventure Series

I've heard of it. Never been..hmm

 

Also might be able to go

 

Post a date, if it's a weekend I can probably make it work. I'd be interested to check the area out.

 

We could make the run on one of the long weekends thats coming up. Like MLK weekend or Presidents day weekend?

 

Interested pending date!

 

I have never been to Mills canyon before, I assume from Googling it, we would be camping the night out there? Also, what are the trails like? is there enough for a long weekend? I think my preference would be the 28-29 Jan, unless no one else is free then?

 

Not a lot of trails, but there is some good hiking and I've been told there is supposed to be a couple of ice caves there.
The 28-29 will work for me. What about everybody else?

 

I can do end of Jan

 

I just Google mapped it, and it looks like there are many 4-wheeling trails, some of which cross the river repeatedly. Looks like a fun place to visit.

 

@tomtom don't let me down now!

 

Ha nice... so would anyone be opposed to moving to the first weekend of Feb??? I know I said end of Jan, but some work stuff has come up.

 

Thats works for me. I'm good any weekend.

How many are planning on going?

 

I should be able to make it. I'll know next week sometime for a sure answer.

 

Sounds like a cool place to explore, but also a place that might make a better destination for warmer months and longer days.

I won't be able to make it, but please post some pics in the thread when you get back.

 

I might be down depending on fixed date

 

Back in Nov @Zizzle[/USER] and I came down to the Farmington area from CO. Thought I'd share some pictures from the trip. There is a variety of trails there but most offer the opportunity for banging some armor or pinstripping. Hope you enjoy.

Chokecherry Canyon-
We started off headed to a trail called RJ's

The buggie/jeeps were in front and this guy was showing off for his first date with blondie. It didn't take 5 minutes and....


Strange way to get "Jeep hair"

Just pushed them back over


So we bailed and went to flex

 

I'd be down to go with you guys early Feb depending on nailed down dates.

 

I'd be in for early Feb trip to Mills Canyon, could possibly make the 28th-29th of Jan work though. What would this look like - link up Friday night or early Sat morning and head up following the river? Then overnight and head out next day? Mostly interested in some medium wheeling and reconnoitering possible campsites for follow-on trips with the fam. For those that have been up there before...how gnarly are those river crossings?

Any issues with my boy coming with me? He's eight...but loves Metallica and is completely immune to four letter words.

 

What do you guys say we pic one of those dates and lock this trip down!

 

What do you guys say we nail this down to the first weekend in Feb. ?

We could link up in Logan and drive Trigg road to Mosquero,NM or run out highway 39 to Mosquero road and drive that one. Either road is a neat drive. Mosquero rd has two creek crossings and is probably the best of the two. Any other sugestions?
As for the river crossing in Mills, one is a concrete dam type and the other is just river bed. I haven't done the river crossing in a few years, just the concrete one.
