Who's camping on this trip? Any recommendations where to set up, hopefully not in a developed campground with neighbors and fees? My preference is "dispersed" camping off a Forest Service road somewhere, but I have no idea where that is if we try to camp together. We need a place accessible to Larry's turdbox, Ali/Johanna's Casita, a 4wd Sprinter, a Porsche Macan towing a teardrop, and a Subaru Crosstrek.

Johanna was planning to go up there the weekend before, scout the area, park her turdbox (and leave it there over the week) and drop us a waypoint. We may need to understand how many we need to accommodate. IDK.
 
We spoke yesterday and the thought of leaving her turd box up there for a week isn't settling well with me, and now not her. However, we're still gonna go up there the weekend before to scope out spots and ride our MTBs. We'll have coords to post up.
 
As usual, Marc kind of flakes out. I didn't buy my tickets before they were sold out. And now I've got to drop off a kid at the airport on 6/17 so I won't even be heading out for camping until 6/17 or 6/18. I still have a reservation at the Cimmarron Canyon State Park, in case anyone happens to pass by there and see my mall cruiser and popup in the ADA campsite.
 
We found a spot to setup our basecamp in the Carson Nat'l forest: 36°23'08.2"N 105°28'18.1"W.

Johanna and I'll show up Thur after work, the rest of the gang is showing up on Friday.
 
I'm hoping to make the camping. No concert tickets. Don't matter. I need a forest break.

I don't think I've ever been called a beatnik before. I kind of knew what it meant but decided to look up the definition:

beat·nik ˈbēt-nik. : a person who participated in a social movement of the 1950s and early 1960s which stressed artistic self-expression and the rejection of the mores of conventional society. broadly : a usually young and artistic person who rejects the mores of conventional society.

Yeah, that's definitely me.

Ah hell bro, I could see you rockin' a beret and a soul patch. Playing the bongo drums don't take a whole lot of talent.
 
Just like Maynard G. Krebs.
 
I checked out kit Carson Park last weekend and I bet there will be hundreds of people outside the fence area listening to the concert. So grab your chair Pappy 😁
 
I think he meant Friday 😁
 
If anyone coming up to Taos this weekend need any assistance -- anything at all...

just keep it to yourself.

(Just kidding!)

Swing by our camp spot if you're up for it.
 
I came out of the camp spot to send out this reply. Pappy got lead astray by using Google maps, maybe he didn't download the offline version. In any case, use the coordinates and punch it into your topo app for a better accuracy, as you get closer to turning off the main highway.

Turn left at the Giant Buddhist monastery sign from the main highway.

Turn right at the small camping sign on a post with a yellow caution tape wrapped around it.

Then follow the yellow caution tape trail to the spot.

Suggest using four low when you leave the main hard pack dirt road for ease of climbing over the ruts especially if you're towing a trailer.

No cell signal at the site but I'll ask pappy to turn on 146.400 and monitor.

Nobody else is at our spot so everybody will have plenty of room.
