I'm not able to make it :bang:
 
Pretty 100% Scout 'n I will be there, walatoa 9AM. Gray 94 xcab pickup
 
Will we be able to get a tag for the tree there in the morning? And what do they cost? Pretty sure my Son a I will go tomorrow. We’re in a Tacoma Prerunner...
 
Ok I'll check again in the morning but as of now it looks like we are up to 5 vehicles.
 
@Armament - you're new so please introduce yourself to the group by starting a new thread. Your ride looks quite formidable!
 
A good day was had by all. We waited at Walatowa till after 930 and hadn't seen @Armament. We drove up to La Cueva and headed up 126 to 144. A bad-ass prerunner Taco passed in the other direction that was probably @Armament. If so, sorry we missed you!

We went up 144 passed where the the sedans were stopped to cut trees and past groups of people with campfires and sleds. We stopped and cut a tree, then decided to keep going and find a lunch spot. Wasn't far before the road was blocked by a stuck truck and we spent quite a while helping them. Just as he was chained up and making forward progress, another truck was coming down chained up and said it was getting deep. We backed down a ways and turned around. As we neared the crowded part of the road, it was a circus. Vehicles were getting stuck. We helped unstuck another truck, finally made it to 126. On our way down, we saw a truck that spun out on a curve and was stuck in the snow, so we strapped them out too. Finally we were headed back to Jemez, where the other 3 rigs stopped for a beverage.

I saw the prerunner parked at one of the fishing areas with a tree in the back, so I hope @Armament had a good day too.

As usual I didn't take any pictures, but others did. They will be posted later.
 
Yeah! That was my Son and I. I’m sorry guys, my Son and I were talking and I drove right past the turn off and we ended up in Cuba! DAMMITT! We went the back way to get to the welcome center but the roads were bad and we didn’t get there till 10:45. It was fun though. But I apologize, we would
Have been there on time but we just weren’t paying attention. Yeah, we drove around a while, pulled some people out that got stuck and got a tree and a trout. It was fun. Sorry again for missing you guys and thank you for waiting, we will have to go out with the group again...

Yeah a great time everyone.
Since 144 was zoo today with jetas, subi-s, and other shenanigans (no surprise) it may be wise to avoid for future treks this time of year.

Sounds like we should change the name to the annual tree and recovery run.

Good to know I'm not the only one that drives past his destination!

If you have time, stop by and join us at the club potluck this evening and introduce yourself here on Mud.
 
Thanks for a fun day folks! As usual I was the only cause of damage, sorry again Adam for dinging you’re princes!
