It just started snowing real heavy about an hour ago(3:00pm). There looks to be about 2 inches on the ground now. This is all going on in Los Alamos.

Radar loops I saw showed most of the activity north of Hwy 4 toward the Sangres, so Jon's suggestion for FR 280 may be the best in terms of more snow, fewer visitors and close proximity for both Albuquerqueians and Espanolans.
Sorry, I won't take credit for David's 280 suggestion. I do like the idea, though. It looks like it would be best to get permits, get the trees, then take another (off-road) way back. Is that the road to Dixon to the east?
we are hoping to make it. i'll be trailering the 40, so if it's possible to loop back to starting point fairly close would be good for us.
I would like to try to tag along on Saturday. I don't need a tree... but I'd be happy to help anyone else that does.
That's the spirit Michael!!
This is our 6th annual Christmas Tree run and Connie and I have been on all of them. Taking a tree is optional so bring the family even if you don't plan to bring home a tree. When there is snow like we expect to have on this trip, we will stop somewhere for everyone to have some snow play time.
Snow boots, gaitors, or snow pants will come in handy.

So will RC toys.
That reminds me... Ross was very happy that you let him play with the RC truck on the Guaje Canyon trip. He asked me on the ride back if I thought you would let him wheel your 4Runner a little on the Christmas Tree Run. As you know, he will be getting his learner's permit in a few months. I told him you would be happy to ride with me and let him drive your truck. Hope you don't mind.

I'll bring my Valium.
Shawn can make his loop down Paliza and back to his tow rig and I could go with Jon down Dome Road to Cochiti.
We need to talk to someone at the FS tomorrow to find out what routes are open.
I am Planning on attending. Do any of you put on snow tires for this run?

So are we getting close to deciding on a meeting place and time? I don't know my way around this state too well once I am outside of Albuquerque, so I need lots of time to study the maps
