The pics of where I am going in two weeks is in cloudcroft. Up in the mountains about 90 miles west of home. Awesome scenery.. Satyed at a hotel year before last, walked outside in the morning and saw a big black bear rummaging in the dumpster!! Pretty cool.. Nice scenery, I'll see if i can get some good pics when I go....

Yup, went to ruidoso today...took the back road into Capitan mountain then down to the front side of ruidoso. Was nice...I figured you would recognize that road!!

Don't know if can make the rally in Farmington yet or not....I'm working back at a regular job now [:@], lol, so hafta see about time off...maybe make it up for a weekend tho'...

Laughlin rally is coming up also....so many rallies, so little time!! lol

You going to Farmington, four corners, this year? Have you been to Navajo lake up that way yet?

lol...I'm taking the pics on a free hand camera mount!!! lol

Na, all freehand. I use the tank bag, and a piece of poor boy velcro to hold an old cheap camera down...If the roads not too twisty. etc, I'll turn her on, and snap a couple of quick pics.

Works good!! lol
