RE: Slip Yoke
This WILL happen, my friends, some local acquaintences and my El Paso club are in the midst of planning this.
Target date: End of March '05. A more solid date will materialize in Jan or Feb.
Area: Western New Mexico in the Northeastern Gila Forest. Near Quemado Lake.
Map: Quemado Lake, New Mexico
Directions: Go south from Albuquerque on Interstate 25 to Socorro and turn west on U.S. 60 toward Quemado. Turn south on SR 32 at Quemado and go 14 miles to SR 103 and turn east. It's four miles to the lake and campground. Out of marshmallows? Don't worry, Snuffy's general store has them and other necessities.
Elevation: 7,800 feet
We have a friend who lives there with a very capable garage incase of breakdown.
Hotels are near by for those who don't wish to camp.
Fishing for those who like to fish: One of Outside Mag's "Top Ten Lakes to go to before you die."

What you will need: Food, camping gear/motel money, rig, tools and beer.
There are camping fees, like 5 or 10 bucks..I don't remember.
Tone of the trip: To have fun! This isn't going to be a dry trip, there will be drinking AFTER TRAILING ONLY. (None of my friends are outrageous drinkers any way, but I know some people are super conservative about that aspect)
Post on this thread if interested! I have friends coming in from Colorado, El Paso, Arizona and Houston to attend this one!
This will most likely be adventure trailing, as I can't find any hard maps online...but many go wheeling out there and say it's wonderful!
I've personally been out there several times fishing and camping. But never wheeled.
