A) after getting stuck on mt Taylor and struggling too much in that depth of snow I decided to stick to milder roads in the Zuni mountains which hover around 9k. There were some impassable roads there too but we found some great trails.
B-C) rewards were awesome scenery and great snow-tubing hills.

A) on the rocks
B) why not just say "please drive here" cuz thats what we did. An earlier attempt was blocked by deep snow. After the snow plow came through there remained a 3" layer of slushy volcanic mud. I fished tailed, slid and hit the occiassional snow bank for 8 miles in each direction. We drove till the snow got too deep.
C) they call it the "Chain of Craters" road. On the northern edge of el MalPais national monument--ca 20min drive from my mothers house. It follows a defunct volcanic rift which spewed ca 100 sq miles of lava (el malpais) and is lined with volcanic cinders cones. Its a fascinating landscape full of caves to be explored and scenery that comes out of a sci-fi movie. As you can see Mississippi doesn't have a monopoly on mud.

I suggest the formation of an expeditionary force to retrieve it.

Awesome pics!
Wow, what a trip. The pic of the deer is amazing, reminds me of the one you got of chestnut leaping into the pond.
Great pics. Thanks for posting. Next time I get the invite I'm going.
