Events/Trails Snow wheeling this sunday, 12/18/22 (1 Viewer)

[alia176]

Let's go wheeling before the Jemez closes the gates for the season. I'd like to explore FR376 going from north to south, then eventually go through the Gilman tunnels.

Bring sleds, dogs, foods, kids, hot chocolate, fire pit, recovery gear, and warm clothes. If you have tire chains, please bring them just in case!

We hope to return to ABQ by 1900 hrs at the latest but will plan on earlier.

Meeting place: home depot Bernalillo at 0900 hrs. Wheels up at 0930. Home Depot · Rio Rancho, NM 87144 - https://goo.gl/maps/obWtfrVDb18Zrv4i7
Communication: HAM radio, freq 146.400

Hmmmmmm maybe maybe! Thanks for putting this out there

Nope. Not going anywhere until I can carry a spare tire.

 

[alia176]

You could toss it in the cargo

You think we're going to have to clear some trails at this time of the year?

You have jinxed us, I’ll bring a bow saw that you can use…

We're going to be having some breakfast at the range Cafe in bernalillo in case anybody wants to join.

 

[Poupon]

Sounds yummy. Liz and I are going to check out the grow lights on sale at Home Depot. See ya'll soon.

It was so dry (maybe 1” in spots), I felt bad for Ali not getting to rescue anyone that I got off the trail while backing up just enough to pull line.

 

[alia176]

I was quite content with the recovery work we did. As always, they are learning moments that help us to stay sharp.

Here is the track log and a screenshot of our route yesterday. I'm not sure if this will come through but it is a file that should open up Google maps.

We started and ended at the Gilman tunnels.
