Events/Trails UPDATE: Cowboy Breakfast at Rock Bowl Beach Camp - Saturday September 16th - 9 AM (1 Viewer)

Lol

Hate to miss this. Our plans changed and we have to go out of town this next weekend, now. If my Miata hadn't crapped out a starter, ( that's a crazy story in its self) this last weekend would have happened and I would be free to do Rock Bowl. Priorities are in control, not my wishes.
You know a little something about recent vehicle breakdowns, too, Ali......

Life has its own way of working out. We'll miss you though.

Well it looks like my plans changed as well. Cancelled the Hawaii trip for California instead and I'll be back on Friday. I probably won't camp but I may make the cowboy breakfast.

UPDATE

We are green and go for tomorrow camp out. I plan to meet Frank at the bowl before 6 pm. We will enjoy the nice cool weather.

In the morning, Frank has agreed to cook breakfast burritos and I will be making Pancakes with full coffee service.

See ya'll tomorrow night or Saturday morning.

I'll be leaving tierras probably between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.

I see that Jeff posted up above some route modification that we may want to be aware of as a group.

Thanks for pointing out Jeff's post regarding route modification. I don't believe Jeff was modifying my suggested route that is found in the initial message. My suggested route remains valid. I believe Jeff was saying that coming FROM Cuba on the old highway (CR 11) is not doable. This way has not been passable for many years now. So he was saying DO NOT to try that way. Rather, head north TOWARDS Cuba on old highway CR 11 from 550. That intersection is several miles south of Cuba off 550 (see waypoint in initial message).

I would suggest that club members followw my instructions in the initial thread. They have coordinates that should be accurate. This route is the same route we have taken for the last few years and should work.

I hope this is clear. See ya soon!!

Will we be able to have a fire? Should we bring firewood? Dylan and I are leaving around 4:00.

Plan to leave ABQ west side between 4 and 5. See you all tomorrow!

BTW, looks like SFNF is in stage 1 fire restrictions:

I don’t think Rock Bowl Beach is on SFNF land According to the map. So the question remains, will we have a fire and should we bring firewood?

I have packed some firewood. I believe this is BLM land. I don't believe we will have any issues having a fire.

UPDATE - September 15th 13:00

Frank headed out late morning and then sent me a text "road muddy here now". There is limited cell phone at the campsite, so unable to get further details. My guess is that the dirt road portion between the sandy Rock Bowl campsite and the unimproved pavement is muddy from recent rains. I would expecct that the campsite will NOT be muddy. However, it may be a bit more challenging to get to the site because of the muddy road conditions.

I will report more if I hear anything.

Heavy rain now playing in Taos. Any new reports from the front?

Anyone headed out this morning? Thinking about leaving from Los Alamos

 

[alia176]

A great turnout everyone, thx for coming out. Frank and Larry put on a great feast as usual, thank you.

Great time all. Actually, a bit too much fun around the fire Friday night (ha!!). But nothing a little hair of the dog couldn't help sort the next morning.

Justin, hope you don't mind that I posted up a few of the cool photo's you sent me.
