Going on vacation to Moab towards the end of May. Unfortunately, we will be taking our JL Wrangler and not our LX470 as it's $400 vs $800 in gas. We will be doing mild/easy trails, nothing hardcore. PM if you're interested in wheeling with us.
I might be able to make it.... My wife works that weekend, but I could probably come out for the day if I'm not working. I'll be coming from Peoria, IL if anyone wants to caravan in, pm me.
I didn't get too far off the beaten path at Taos, but I did cross the Dunn Bridge at Arroyo Hondo and up the switchbacks on the other side, then took Montosa Road back to 64. It's so desolate out there I didn't want to venture too far out. Taos is great, highly recommend the tamales at Ranchos...
