New Year's Day run (1 Viewer)

[marcfj60]

Who's up for a New Year's Day run. Maybe we could even find some snow, or at least some frozen mud. Jemez? El Malpais? Other suggestions?

 

[lurch]

Possibly...depends on
1. if I start the transmission swap
&/or
2. I finish the transmission swap

 

[marcfj60]

I will hope for starting and finishing.

 

[Dumpolina]

I THINK I can. Will know better after Xmas weekend

 

[Chompers]

Planning on it! (OOPS, Mrs. Chompers has other plans for me)

Have fun and Happy New Year

I should be there. Maybe you should just bring Mrs. Chompers along!

 

[Chompers]

I'm maybe for New Years. I get my stiches out on the 27th. If the doc lets me wear a real shoe I should be OK.

 

[marcfj60]

If I showed up for monthly coffee I might know why you have stitches and can't wear a real shoe.

Google Morton's Neuroma.

Dang, that sounds utterly painful. Maybe now you'll stop wearing high heels.

I work on NY day and will be out VERY late NY eve. one of my best friend's retirement party is that night. although, I do need to do a snow run. the FJ cruiser has good tires on it now and should do well.

 

[marcfj60]

For the newer folks who I've never met and who have relatively stock rigs, don't be afraid to attend. My 100-series is pretty close to stock too and I'm not that adventurous so we'll be running easy stuff that any stock 4WD with decent tires can do. My goal is a mild-wheeling day with some snow that little and big kids can get out and enjoy with sleds.

 

[TOYOTARIG]

Definitely going to try and make this one!

 

[slimbuddha]

I'm 50-50.

 

[evanz80]

I should be able to make it. Time to get the chains loaded up, just in case. Any more thoughts on where to go? I would think the Jemez did pretty well for snow with this last storm, but I'm not against trying somewhere else...

 

[marcfj60]

I know the Jemez and have maps for the area. I don't know other potential areas nearly as well.

 

[alia176]

Isabelle, Jessica and I will be there along with our dogs.

I agree - I'm more familiar with the Jemez as well. We had a snow run last year on the forest road near the top of the hill between La Cueva and Fenton Lake. I don't recall the number of the road, but that was a fun trip.
