Since NM4W hasn't been in the Manzano Mountains for over a year, this is a pre-run for the Jan 13 Manzano Mountains run. We're trying to ensure that the Forest Service roads are still accessible and navigable. The Mountainair Ranger Station indicated that the Manzano area is still open since no snowfall has been received to date.
A CB radio, off-road tires, and front/rear hitch points are highly recommended. Please bring plenty of water and dress warmly for this December trip. We'll exit South Hwy 14 at Manzano, NM and head west toward Red Canyon Campground. Then we'll travel south on Forest Road 422 and exit near the Salinas National Monument. We'll return to Albuquerque via US-60.
Hope you can join us. We're testing some new 2-way ham radios on this ride. Please bring a ham radio if you have one.
