Hi Don,
Sorry I'll miss your drive-bye. I'm still hanging out at Slab City.
I don't think Mike and Tracy have arrived yet.
Happy Motoring.
Michael

Who's Gracie? Is that your wife?

Mike,
I hate to question your trip plans, but shouldn't you be headed west?

Taking the 10
We will when we hit Las Cruces...I really don't like IH 40 in the winter, and 17 is a lot of up and down...I want to keep this rig afloat for awhile ...T-day is still a ways away, and...oh, we're retired...

Okay--still trying to figure out where everything is on the Forums. Somewhere I know there are directions to where the rally is in Quartzite..and other info. Haven't found it yet and need to get off to work. Can someone direct me or send info? We'll be getting in Weds. I think the plans would be to leave Farmington NM on Tuesday night...thanks.

Richard,
Can you reference to the directions from last year? I don't know how to find them, either, and, sadly, I'm the one who wrote them...m

Thanks, Richard...
That must have been Jimmini's post...I would recommend that you take the immediate right after turning in to Roadrunner(almost a U-turn), as the wash crossing there is more rig-friendly...I should have the pink surveyor's tape and signs with pink arrows up...FOLLOW THE PINK TO THE ALUMINUM!!!

Mike, the road is mainly flat as a fritter. A few small hills just outside of Hatch but otherwise clear sailing. You even get to drive by Nutt ( in the middle of nowhere). Get fuel in Lemitar just North of Socorro. There is fuel in Hatch but they are expensive. They repaved most of the road about a year ago.
Will be seeing you in a few days. We plan to leave for Q on the 23rd.

For whom the bell tolls...
Thanks Howard . We pulled into Hatch after dark, and found a church parking lot ...moved everything off the beds to the front seats, and then the hourly bells went off(there's a shorter version of the same bells on the half-hour)...I might be a bit cranky, tomorrow...

We've had Slab City come up a couple times in conversation lately. I've wanted to check it out for a while now.
