Las Cruses was a fun trip. The drive wasnt to bad the accomadations were good and we had good weather. The trails were very challenging and some obstacles required the use of a winch. More rocks and Less Trees
Hot Springs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The old man at Barnwell said it was a good place. Superlift also gave him his lift for that J20 he drives around so he might be a bit biased. Hot springs had a write up in Offroad mag it looks like a fun place.
I'm up for Cruces again, I think I'll have the next round of Scout mods done by then. I would love to go back to Farmington, but the competion will prevent any chance of wheeling.
I think we should spend two days in Cruses wheeling the trails that we didn't finish last time (Tabasco Twister etc...) and then drive to Farmington for a day in the playground, and then drive to the Avalanche Ranch for a final day of wheeling

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
-Sounds good in theory Scott, but I see break downs making all that moving not feasable for a large group(if enough go).
-Anyone know anymore about Indiana?
-I am all for going to Las Cruces again...I would like to get some more wheeling in there.

no one wants to go to the hammers or rubicon? i've talked about it w/ a friend who lived in california for a while, we're not sure if we want to drive that far yet, but maybe, if not there, then probably cruces or moab
if you try to drive to the rubicon it'll take you 3 days to get there and 3 days to get back...respectively, that doesnt leave much time for wheeling. you wanna spend 6 of your 10 break days on the highway?

true, if we do go, we'll drive during the night also, it would be a helleva trip, but maybe worth it, this will be my last spring break trip hopefully
My plan:
leave 7:00am sat morning March 9th
Arrive Cruses 13 hours later - set up camp and sleep
Sunday the 10th. - Wheel Cruses
Monday the 11 - Wheel Cruses
Tuesday the 12th pack up, drive to Farmington - 7 hour drive
Wednesday the 13th - wheel Farmington
Thursday the 14th - Wheel Farmington
Friday the 15th - Wheel Avalanche - 1 hour drive away - day trip
Sat the 16th drive home.
Hows that sound?
Any suggestions, additions, subtractions, ect....

I like that idea, but when you go to Farmington, I was thinking Taos sounded pretty ggod, maybe wheel one more day at cruces and then hit the slopes for a day or two, anyone like skiing? Off-roading and skiing in one week, that would be cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet...

I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
I think farmington is a little too far. That's at least 3 full days of highway with a really long trip (~16hr in a good vehicle, 24 hr in off road rig) back home. Do you think we could wheel just cruces for a week. I've never been to the place so I don't know how big it is or anything. I think I'd like hot springs too. I've never been there either but its closer.
it can be done in a loooong day of driving from CS. I like the schedual so far. I might favor 3 days somewhere wheeling and two days in Pagosa/Wolf creek for skiing. It is then only a 14 to 16 hour drive home from CO.
Wolf Creek
here is a map. not too far from Farmington either. I would consider three days of runs there also.
