RunOTM: Saturday, June 27th Monticello Canyon

[jstncse]

Let's get together and run the Canyon before it gets shut down.

It's a great trail with lots of camping opportunities in the area. I will be camping on the beach at Elephant Butte Friday and Saturday night with friends and family. You're welcome to join us for some fun in the sand and water.

We will start the run from Pat's in Elephant Butte about 9:00am. For those that want to make it a day trip it is about 2 hours from Albuquerque to Pat's. The run will take about 4-5 hours and is stock friendly with a nice area at the end of the canyon for lunch, so come on out.



Pat's 1006 New Mexico 195, Elephant Butte, NM 87935

I'm in ... if I'm not in Denver. I would drive down either late on Friday, or butt early Saturday.

 

[jstncse]

Ahh, the power of the magic wand. Thanks and hope you can make it

 

[pappy]

Personally, I would rather be in Denver, but I don't think it will happen.

Life is complicated in June. Trying to make this, but won't know till probably Friday morning

 

[Poupon]

I'm going to drag the camper down Friday and return early Sunday. Sounds fun.

 

[jstncse]

I'm going down Thursday around noon with the camper and boat

Hmm, do you need your usual samich makers?

 

[Poupon]

yes! we do in fact in a samich maker. A semi-automatic coffee maker would we nice. I plan to dust off the camper Friday morning, get it provisioned and head down as early as possible. Perhaps I can get there early enough to get in a dip and try out my new speedo.

I'm going to leave crazy early on Saturday and meet you at Pat's. That will give me Friday after work to load up.

 

[slimbuddha]

I'm gonna try and make it, as this has been on my todo list for way to long, and this is the last chance.

I just drove to Albuquerque from Oregon (1,800 miles), arrived here yesterday. I believe my LC is in reasonably good shape - it did handle towing another vehicle here in temps up to 111F.

Will be moving into a house in Sandia Heights over the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to this drive, and to meeting other club members for the first time. I'll aim to arrive at Pat's address before 9am on Saturday.

 

[jstncse]

Welcome to the desert, looking forward to meeting you Neville.
Your 100 will be fine, this is pretty much just a trail ride with the most water crossings you will find in the state. Pack a lunch to enjoy at the end of the canyon.

I'm really liking how most new members are 100-series owners. Safety in numbers.
