Pie town beyond the pies leaves a lot to be desired. Haha!

It's been raining steady for at least 12 hours so the snow conditions are going to be mushy at best. Skyline CG would work but is exposed to our west winds. IMO your best camping would be off Ski Run...
Fish Eating Creek is beautiful if you enjoy cypress swamps. Birding and fishing are excellent. Be advised though that this is a remote creek with little solid land mass depending on water levels and...
PM headed your way.
Cberg1975,
We're neighbors. (Ruidoso) I was hiking just north of Capitan, near Patos Mtn, last week. Let me know if you need to try out some hammock equipment or want to do some trails.

The Grand Enchantment Trail (GET) which goes from ABQ to Phoenix runs right through Soccoro. You can explore any or all of the 770 mile trail.

+1 on the quality and comfort of the Dangerbird. Randy is very service oriented and easy to work with on your individual selections. The overcover does add warmth here in the Mtns and the black...
Dryocum,
Welcome to the HF from south central NM. -tzq
tr42,
Move some of those ancient cobb webs out of your wallet and make a donation to the HF. Then you can find & read what you need!

Linkster,
Haven't hiked any of the caminos yet, but after reading several recommendations tending to agree with renegadepilgrim. Also, probably depends on which of the dozen or so caminos you...
+5,6,& 7 (have ordered 3 quilts) for JRB.
Mountnman,your efforts were noticed and appreciated. Thank you.
Whoa, quite a commute! Carson Nat'l Forest seems to have many hidden jewels due to the remote access. Glad you found a way to keep warm. How did your son fair? Catch any fish?

ChiefBob,
Thanks for sharing. One of my favorite trips as well.

Free Home,
Do you have an actual wt. for this bag?

O&B,
Was thinking of you when I heard of the flooding.Trust you are safe and dry? -tzq
Looking forward to giving the SB a try. PM sent. -tzq
Welcome whitebear from a fellow NM hanger. tzq
Thanks for the NM trip report Grizz,
You mentioned you were wearing your favorite hiking pants, but I couldn't catch what brand. Care to elaborate the brand and what you find that you like...
Welcome Damien,
I'm up in the Ruidoso,NM area and hike/hang the Lincoln National Forest frequently. A few of us plan on hiking the Crest Trail around the end of May.If you have any interest drop...
tr42,
Nice pics and the views in the video were beautiful. It's always a bit surprising to me how much of the grading on ascents and descents get washed out by cameras. It's not 'til we actually...
"Alligators have killed 22 people, frequently between May-July and primarily by gators >8 ft. in length, as well as an unknown number of pets since the FWC started keeping records in 1948." From 1959...
mussleman1234,
Thanks, glad you liked the Camo. Here's a sunrise pic taken from my DB during that hang;
Really enjoy my DB! Here are a few pics in Camo mode and one with the Black Momentum. The Black Momentum is really a benefit to sleeping well when the moon is full and the nights are cold here in the...
Also spent 10 days canoeing the Quetico last month. My favorite place to canoe and to fish. This was my 24th year and it still feels fresh and new.
tr42,
Thanks for taking those of us who couldn't make this trip along for the ride. Looks like a fun, scenic hike. I haven't heard you breathe that hard since we carried all that water over the...
Thanks tr42. You know I would like to make it as well, but it's not looking good as there hasn't been much change in the situation here. I'm starting to wonder if my annual Quetico trip in August is...
Hey, where is everyone who should be jumping on this opportunity. Wonderful scenery, nice weather, plenty of water, trout to catch, and great folks to hike beside. With only 7 slots per permit,...
Yeah O&B that was/is the fire. It came within 300yds. of my house, but unlike 225 others, we were very fortunate and were able to return to our home at the end of last week. Although it is still...
Waddy,
Life does have a way of making changes in our plans,doesn't it? I've been sitting in my work office for five days awaiting the news if my house will survive the " Little Bear Fire"...
[QUOTE=waddy;736686]Wow, your pack last year was POUNDS lighter than mine! :eek: I'm really going to have to work on it! How do you say "gram weenie"?
Uhhhhh, you ol' curmudgeons really need alot...
P.S.- When I start weighing these items down to the hundreds of on ounce, it always makes me start laughing. It makes me realize I need to back off the Graeter's Raspberry Chocolate Chip pints of ice...
waddy,
As illogical as it seems, a larger volume mug/pot may not actually weigh more. My 1L REI Pasta pot with lid weighs less than my SP700, (3.8ozs. vs. 4.4 ozs). It also has the added...
waddy,
The weight of the Caldera cone system varies a bit based on which mug/pot you are using with it. Here are the weights for the SnowPeak 700 titanium mug setup;
Caldera cone, alc. stove...
Good job TR42. Nice summary of two fun SOBO days in the mtns. How about some background music on the upcoming northbound trip?
waddy , we used elk not camels!
O&B,
Nice summary and clarification. Just a reminder to all that we already have three campsites reserved at Kelly Dahl CG for Friday and Saturday July 6th & 7th that can accomodate 8 campers each,...
Hey Brian,
It's a 28.5 hour drive from NM, but driven by the beauty and wilderness of the Quetico, I still make it there each year. In the spirit of being social, I just thought I would throw...
Note to self: "Pack more OREOS".:lol:
Hi Ontario,
I'm planning a canoe/fishing trip in the Quetico through Canoe Canada the week of August 13th. Maybe we could cross paths...
food,
Was that an imposter last year or YOU who wasn't going to purchase a cuben tarp?
BTW, my cuben tarp purchase didn't help me fit in with the "kool kids", but I'm rooting for you. TZQ
waddy,
I have the Steripen AA version and it has definitely been tempermental with the light coming on at times and refusing to come on at others, even after having the first one replaced....
TR42,
Soooo, you're turning on me too?? It's great to have friends...
Hope you don't forget the snake for that "snake bite cure."
P.S. - LAST BIT of GEAR??!!! Who you trying to fool?
Desert Reprobate,
Openings are available for both the north loop hike starting on Sunday and for the hang /day hike and fishing adventure. Just contact food or OutandBack respectively based on...
Yaaaahhooooooooooooo! Let the harrassment begin!!!!Don't you need to have some INTEGRITY before you can blame someone else for the lack of said integrity?!! And then we were "4"...
+1 on the company is a large part of the experience. Such a great group last year, with a few significant exceptions like waddy and that crazy Texas housier who almost got me arrested. Looking...
Welcome from Ruidoso, NM. If you are around in May, you're welcome to join us on the Crest Trail in the Lincoln NF.
Hi guys,
Thanks food and OutandBack for checking out our meeting site. I have reserved site #38 for 7/06 and 7/07 @ Kelly Dahl CG, so we should be in good shape for trees/space. Looking forward...
Again Miguel, buen AT and enjoy the journey.
+1 on WWwwaaaaayyyyyy too many stumps, but great bass fishing.
