Christmas Tree Run

[marcfj60]

I really think I can make this run. My 40 isn't ready yet but my Tundra should be fun. I'm not sure if the wife and little one can join but I need to get some dirt under my tires. Is there anyone headed out from SF?

Meet the ABQ crew at 9:45 at the Walatowa visitor center. Or, we can meet you at the store by La Cueva Lodge where 126 and 4 meet. I was planning for us to go up past Fenton lake and then toward Cuba on 126. We've met other SF folks at this location in the past. I imagine we will be going by there about 10:30.

He, he, he..... This might be a muddy slog fest. Nice.

My suspicion too. Maybe I should bring my fishing waders.

Liz, the girls and I will meet ya'll at the Walatowa visitor center. Just got my snow chains in the mail. Maybe I'll get to use the WARN 9.5 finally. See ya!

Larry,

Practice putting them on the tires on your driveway!! You'll thank yourself later if you need to use them. I'll be doing the same today just to remind myself on the process.

I will also be putting on the chains for practice, but I also need to pull the skiny ATs off and put the MT/KMs on at the same time.

OK so I think I'll catch you guys en route at the La Cueva Lodge (4 and 126) I'll aim to be there around 10:15. The wife says she wants to join with the little one too!

CB or HAM freq?

 

[marcfj60]

CB is usually 40. Ham I think is usually 146.460.

I forgot my camera so I'm no help. It was a very nice, sunny, warm day (thus the sloppy mess everywhere we went). We found some snow in shaded areas and kids even got to do a little sledding.

Had to rinse the mud off before taking it in the house, but....

It was a nice day indeed. Couldn't wait to get home and fire up the power washer. IH8MUD!!
