My SW FOG Itinerary

[GalaxyBlue]

After a few correspondences with SpyderBret, We have decided to make a straight shot from Kingman to Taos with minimal slab miles

Google Maps

As of right now, We are planning on leaving EARLY Thursday (16th) and arriving in Taos that afternoon.

Anyone from wanting to catch up with us is welcome to, Just let me know.

My household accommodations are limited, But i can put up 2 riders that want to arrive wednesday night. I figured this might be helpful for a Cali rider wanting to break the trip into two legs.

I am open to suggestions.

When I first saw your post, I thought we might be able to link up along the way, but I'll be coming up from the south, while you are definitely from the Northwest. Mine is 410 miles and 7.5 hours - Lakeside, AZ to Taos, NM - your's is definitely more challenging.

 

[sin_loki]

when do you think you would be in flagstaff? I thats where i am starting my final leg.

Been on that road through Shiprock/Farmington, long and hot, but not to bad otherwise IIRC You gonna take the short trip up to 4 corners?

I would imagine no later than 8am

Thanks for the heads up!
I was thinking about stopping there again. Last time i went through there, I was headed back from WFO-6 and went the southern way back to missouri through Moab ect.

Shiprock is something neat... I didn't stop, But you can see that thing for miles!

My goal is to stay off of the Interstate as much as possible as that is where i spend 99% of my time while working. I hate my job... <_<

 

[spyderbret]

I'm looking forward to it!!

What time do you want me to meet you in Kingman?

Duke does not look happy to be on that ledge!

A Los Robustos Suggestion, Fry Bread in Farmington, New Mexico. Ashkii's Navajo Grill located at 123 West Broadway Street. And Adam, please have Spyderbreat eat at least three portions of fry bread with butter and honey. And, Bret needs to finish off his meal with a Navajo taco or two, he's still too damn skinny to be in Los Robustos M/C; damn it all to hell!

10-4!

:lol:

Breakfast @ Mr. D'z to start the day also!

Wow, what a thread! So much info to reply to.

I'll start with saying "I agree" Duke does not look happy on the apparent ledge, however, I also noticed the leash to yank him back if he made any movement towards the edge.

Not far out of Flag the ride towards NM gets really drab. 4 Corners is kind of cool, but the ride is boring also. If you ride into Colorado towards Durango heading east and then drop down into Taos would be nice.

I've been thinking about catching the 60 in Show Low and taking the mountains into NM and catching I-25 in Socorro and swinging by Los Lunas to visit a friend and then another stop in Bernalillo to see another friend. But I might leave Tuesday the 14th, allowing two days to get to Taos (a day before the SW-FOG is scheduled to start). But then again,

Decisions, decisions....................!!

With our Arizona weather trying to make up its mind whether it will stay hot, cool off in the evenings, rain or whatever, being prepared for almost anything is mandatory.

Now Don has to throw in a Los Robustos suggestion, hell, that's one of the best things about these get togethers besides the riding is the food and the eating establishments along the way. My wife always asks "what do you guys do besides ride", my answer is EAT and of course drink after the day of riding is over.

Don just has way too much time on his hands!!!

And I get the point Don! I will be sure to gorge myself on all the great food the southwest has to offer on this trip. Don't expect me to catch up with you weight wise anytime soon though! That will take me years!!!

I'm proud of you Bret and I just know that you can do it! If you work real hard at eating as a Los Robustos M/C Member should, I'm confident in 25 years you can have my physique!

AJ: Control A, Control C and Control V is highlight, copy and paste. Jeez Marie, I know your Brother is a Marine and not as smart as we US Army types, but come on; es muy Estupido!
