I just realized Easter is on the 20th, I will have to catch you guys somewhere along the route later on the 20th or the 21st. Maybe we can meet closer to departure and I can figure out where you all may be?

Ron, I will have my inReach. I can give you access and you can track us live.

UPDATE April 8th, 2025 - @pappy/@TOYOTARIG to co-lead

Hey fellow HDC club members,

Based on the progress of my phase 4 build, it is probable that things will not be sorted in time for me to lead the group on the 19th. However, Jon and Ron have both agreed to co-lead the start of the adventure - the trip is still on. But I am not planning to make it by the 19th. I am still going to try to catch up to the group, if possible.

As a moderator, @pappy is able to keep this intro message updated as we get closer to the event. Do let me know if you have any questions.

After having a chat with Larry, we both agreed that starting in Dell City is silly. Dell City has no redeeming qualities. The thought right now is to start in Weed, and proceed to the BDR from there.

What's the schedule for starting at Weed? Morning of the 19th?

That is up for discussion. I'm going to camp someplace in the forest the night before. I thought we could pick a landmark in Weed and meet at 9am.

Edit: There is a gas station/store off NM24. It's also a jump off point for the BDR. I would suggest the store as the meet-up spot.

That must be the same reason why we started in Weed the last time.
 
Dang, did some work in Weed almost 30 years ago. Brings back memories...

That'd be my plan as well, stay Friday night somewhere outside Cloudcroft.

If you happen to pass through Pinon, stop in the local store and say hi to my friends, the Hibbard family. They have a cattle ranch nearby where I get all my beef from as well as operate the small country store in Pinon.
 
At this point I am definitely in, meeting up in Weed on Saturday morning. Just have to figure out where to stay Friday night.
 
So this just happened, count me out for now!

Well, that sucks. Glad you and Danielle are OK. Hopefully the truck can be fixed without too much fuss.

Ash or pappy may have the waypoint of the place we camped at the last time we started near weed. I pinged Ash and will post up if he has it.

@pappy did you still have the waypoint saved? Any ideas for Friday if you don't?

I think a saws-all will make that truck trail ready in no time! (as long as the rear wheel and axle aren't damaged)

Big bummer, sorry this happened to you guys!....but I see potential to upgrade the rear bumper.
