14 rigs showed up for this ride. Two new drivers showed up. We went up the pipeline road from San Ysidro, to Cabezon peak area. Explored a High line road. primitive, but got turned around by an impassible muddy stream crossing. Nice lunch area. Explored north of Mt Taylor mesa and found two old rock house ruins. Got back to Hwy 550 at 5 pm. Good day.
