Time to lead a ride outside of Jemez and Gordy's ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cliff led a ride in August 2023 that was one of my very first with the club and I have been itching to return to explore the area.
Mosey on down to the by the 9:30am meet time (34.64623, -106.3452), air down and take off by 10:00am, All day ride expected but I'm wanting to hit the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument before the 5:00pm closing time so we can explore.
I am estimating this to be a 4 cigar rated ride but standard WLWJT prototols in place...
Take a gander at the Recovering More Than a Trailer gallery to get some insight as to the area we are going to visit. Also, it looks like moisture is somewhat likely so be aware. There are many areas for standing water and mud, as well as the most technical area being down in an arroyo where the rain will collect and run out.
You longer wheelbase vehicles - have no fear! I was able to get a Raptor and car hauler in and out of the most technical part of the ridet so you'll do well.
Rig recommendations:
- lockers helpful but driver dependant
- stock vehicles welcome, but they should have skid plates since we are crossing a water collection arroyo several times
- sliders
- tow points (front & rear) and recovery gear
- pinstripping -> "I Gar On Tee!"
- GMRS radio
- Fire extinguisher
- Full tank of gas
- size spare tire (inflated and know how to change it)
- Seatbelts for the driver and all passengers (use them)
- Tools for both the vehicle and the environment
- Tire deflation/inflation system
- Working jack (make sure it suites the vehicle)
- if you have a winch, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure it is working properly according to manufacture instructions. We really do not want to try and operate a questionable working and high consequence piece of equipment in the field.
Bring lunch, chairs, plenty of water, and snacks. As always with my rides, all family members are encouraged to attend and enjoy the scenery.
