Land of Enchantment New Mexico

[psykown]

The snow wasn't too bad over all, and the hail for most of the trip kept it exciting. Made it a bit north of Vallecitos before calling it a day. Between the cold, a trail closure NW of El Rito which I accidently found a work around, and the time spent trying to figure out and find the extreme route I had my fill. Definitely down to repeat the trip again if anyone wants! (It's very hard not to pic spam this post )

Oh ... I've been there From Hwy 64 to Vallecitos last year. It's kind of a maze, but definetively height of the summer ride for me.

Fr 376 It's going to open on 4/16. The guys that have access told me that is nice and dry. That opens up a lot of loops to do around.

That main trail (for the NM BDR)had it posted that it would open May 1, after that it should be a lot easier to get around there for sure!

Awesome thanks! Its looking like a great day weatherwise to, fingers crossed that fire stays away now! Looking at the TFR its staying SE

elephant trail action. took a break at this cave

 

[psykown]

lol especially in the truck camper that gets brutal in the desert! my favorite was going out to ocotillo wells and riding all day and then sleeping in the bed of the truck under the stars.

The weather is ok atm. Very nice in the mornings. Otoh, I've slept in my truck camper when the nightly low was 100. Big city desert living sucks hard.

 

[psykown]

Nver quite made it to Elephant Peak this trip, got a little lost off 76(?) hit some dirt found a ton of backroads and had a blast just getting to taos. also after what felt like miles of loose rocky wash she finally decided it was time for a nap lol

 

[psykown]

PS I still think it looks more like a turtle

I'm in Northern New Mexico. I was going to try and ride 31 mile, 144 to 99 to 100 but I had to go into work. Not sure what all is open. I can see the smoke coming off the fire in the Jemez and I also see the Sangre's from my house. I suck in the dirt but I still do it.
