UPDATE: If you follow these turns, you may get to Rock Bowl Beach without issue. We will monitor 146.400. There is limited/no cell phone at the beach.
This was once a BEACH. Sand is at the beach.
Lets have another Cowboy / Cowgirl breakfast in the bush Saturday September 18th. This is the 3rd Saturday in September so this event will take the place of our normal breakfast meeting.
We have decided to do this breakfast at a really nice camp spot just south of Cuba off of US 550. Jeff Boggs and I found this spot a year or so ago and have returned several times. This spot (35.86163, -106.93470) is about a 1 - 1.25 hour drive from NM-528 and US-550. 95% of the drive is paved and the last few miles are unimproved dirt road. I will update this introduction with more details on how to find the spot.
Cars can make this one, but only camping trailers with major clearance, like Ali's Kimber style trailer or Frank's Smitty style, can make the one aggressive "dip" that goes through a wash. I will be camping out of my truck Friday and Saturday nights.
Tips on finding the location: Coming soon
UPDATE 9/9/2021: Jeff has volunteered to lead a moderate trail run on Saturday after breakfast. We will depart from camp and follow various trails that have some moderate articulation and some tight clearance requirements, if memory serves me correctly. Stock vehicles may have some difficulty with a few spots, so be warned.
Jeff has also offered to lead an easier loop in the area near camp on Sunday based on interest Sunday morning. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE TRAIL RUN THREAD for details. Thanks Jeff!

Like the prior years, you are welcome to join some of us heading out Friday the 17th after work and camp out. Others are welcome to join us for breakfast in the morning on Saturday. This is a family friendly event - dogs, pets and kids are all welcome!
Frank and I will be making our usual stuff. We will also have coffee and fixings - all no charge. You are welcome to bring your own breakfast, with the CV thing still amongst us. Any donations you wish to make will go into the club coffers to be used for our xmas party or donations to off road organizations.
I will keep a tally below of those that confirm or are tentative. This will help me plan on the amount of food to purchase.
