Builds New Mexico Pig Build (4 Viewers)

[abqcruiser]

Back at the campground, I checked my nuts, ... not those nuts..., although there were times. The u-bolts needed a bit of re-torquing, but not too bad. The only thing that really needed tightening was the center arm. The electric power steering was very impressive as well.

The next day we packed up and headed, unfortunately, back to ABQ. We had a great time; cool nights, great food, great beer, and always a good time when we get together with my folks. Here's a last pic on the way back home. I've driven this highway back to ABQ dozens of times and never slowed down or stopped to take a picture, until now.

I love New Mexico!

Great pictures! It's just so cool to see the wagon out camping. Got to watch out for the stretchy nut syndrome. I look forward to doing the same type of back road camping. Good Job!

Anything you have to redo, tweak, etc. I've got a whole list.

I highly recommend camping up in the high country area off one of the forest roads. There were some beautiful spots up there. You could probably have a whole side of a mountain to yourself.

Honestly, I have very little to redo or tweak. Which may be a bad omen for the next excursion out. The only thing that is a little worrisome is that I burned about a quart of oil on the trip. No drips underneath, so she's definitely burning it.

Man, I'd take it as a good omen and a quality builder.

Awesome!

Rico looks to be a good hike from the front range, but maybe sometime we can meet up around there, maybe we can get @riderjgs to join as well - 3 green Pigs!

What if we put together a Pig fest in this area for 2017? It seems like we have a few Pigs that are actually running, or on the verge of running...

TJ,

That would be awesome! There seems to be an abundance of 4wd trails up there. Rico is a great area as a jumping off point.

We would need to pick a campground, and propose some dates...

 

[scrapdaddy]

If at all possible, I'm in. Would be a lot of fun.

I'd look into where we stayed, Cayton Campground. It has bathrooms, RV hookups and fresh water. It's also spread out enough so everyone doesn't feel like they are on top of each other.

That sounds pretty awesome!

What about mid-June? Before 4th of July, after Cruise Moab, before Black Hills Cruiser Classic...

How many camp sites do you think are there?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Let's not let this great idea die. Here's a link to the campground....Camping at CAYTON CAMPGROUND, CO

27 camp sites, so we can fit a lot and it sounds like a beautiful place.

It would be an awesome sight to have a " sounder of swine" roll into the campground! We should definitely make it happen!

 

[PabloCruise]

We could get all serious and set a date and make t-shirts...

 

[scrapdaddy]

Mid June sounds good. Pick a date.

 

[abqcruiser]

I noticed on the campground website that you can reserve up to 6 months in advance. Might be a good idea to pick that date and keep an eye on when reservations start to fill up. Also might be a good idea to start this in a new thread in a few months.
