Not off topic Sam, just cryptic...

I've also been downloading and archiving this stuff as time permits. From what I have read (which could be wrong) that portion of the site is no longer being maintained as the author has moved on from nm4w.org

I thought we had figured that out in 2010?
When we were up on that ridge, baking in the sun.
IIRC a few folks went up ahead and spotted folks down in the canyon. I didn't go that far as I went into Hatch for some parts.

[Sambo]

we were a few miles north of the entrance near the BP checkpoint! i had never been that far north before!

That makes sense as it was not a very long run into Hatch for parts that year.
I'll play with that direction a little and see what pops up.

I really want to do the whole thing and I know we can do it coming in from I-10 and going from Off to Upper to BWay. I just don't want to back track all the way back out the way we go in.

Sam,
I think I have it correct. Been searching hiking sites since most 4x4 sites prefer not to get to specific about things.
Barksdale Rd is the one just after the checkpoint.

Sure Flint, please get them :-)

More Edit(s):
I have the Border Patrol checkpoint labeled as the Blue Moon Bar.
I'll get that fixed in the new kmz file.
Actually found the Blue Moon and address on FB of all places: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bl...10266992390866

well if i can get her put back together in time. we will have a caged 4 seater w/ overdrive and real drive shafts! wooo hooo! i pulled the tan body today. with 7 guys it can be done by hand. i will clean up some old ugly welds, get some paint on the frame and axles and pick up the caged body monday.

Common Irving this should not take too long, need to make one more to the Rockwell group!

[mcjeep80]

i got everything unloaded and finished the rear wrap bar axle mounts. i tried to order some tubing for them. no luck only poop pipe.
tomorrow off with the top, pull the cage and start to sand the rust off of it.

Decided to take the top off after all huh? I dont blame you, sanding that thing under the lid would be a real PITA!
