Hi All,
This will be my last update for the ride this weekend as I'll be heading off grid hopefully this afternoon.  
Precip forecast has picked up, so it looks like there's a good chance we'll get rained on some Saturday and Sunday.  A lot of the roads turn pretty nasty in the rain, but shape up fairly quickly once it stops.  The trails also recover very quickly.  So we're still a Go, folks will just have to watch the conditions and use their best judgement.  
Start location remains as described below, if that has to change I'll try to get to a data signal and send an update.
Cheers,
Nate

Hi Folks!
Cruces Basin BFL is coming up next weekend, currently we only have 4 people signed up.  Given the low count I'm not planning to try to get the group site at Hopewell Lake Campground (in September it goes off the reservation system, and is $125/night).  My plan is to camp in a spot close to Hwy 64 just a little past the lake, it's signed, 64D2 and is the first dirt road on your left after passing the lake.  You'd pull in, cross the cattle guard, and pretty much immediately see my Airstream on your right.  
If you do want to use the campground here's the link to information:

https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/carson/recreation/recarea/?recid=44070

Also, given that it is the start of hunting season, dispersed national forest camping starts to get a little busy up there, so if for some reason I can't get us in that spot I'll try to find something else and get that communicated.  
There is no reliable cell phone coverage out there.
If you think you even might attend please email me a phone number and if I have to change locations I'll send out a text.  I'm planning to get out there Thursday afternoon though to try to make sure I get the spot.  

Here's the link with more information about the various routes and associated GPS data, but you're also welcome to come out, camp, and ride whatever you want.  Options abound out there and September is typically pretty ideal conditions.

Registration located here (free as always, we're not going to approach our limit of 74 I don't think but it's nice to know who to expect):

If you have any questions drop me an email.
Cheers,
