Barko1 aka John I. commented on Jody H's event 'Saint Valentines Day Massacre, Big Bend, Tx.'

Anyone want to go next week? I'm heading down probably Thursday and will trailer Rich's KLR while he rides down on something else (my truck is full). Will stay at the Cottonwood campground at the West end of the River Road.

I won't make it this time, going to hit the Tarantula race South of Alamorgordo. Kind of planning to go to Big Bend next Thursday through Sunday.

Anyone else coming along? I started some maintenance on the DR and it has progressed to the whole airbox/jet ket/exhaust upgrades so I hope I get it all sorted before then. Bike is apart just waiting for the parts and hope the jetting goes well.

I first discovered it in the mid 80's, love the place. Also have done the Outer Mountain Loop. Bought a nice walking stick at Boquillas a couple years ago. The guy yells at you from across the river now.

I wouldn't want that VW after it has gone down Black Gap! That might be another worthy exploration. To get a back country permit for camping you have to go to Panther Junction when you arrive. This pic is from Old Ore Road last week.

I drove Old Ore Road last week. Would be a good bike trip, was rough but not technical in my F250. Also rode much of Grapevine checking out the back country campsites, did that and Paint Gap on the DR. Also Maverick Road on the West side, washboard…

I just got back but from BB, it was low 80's when they weather in NM sucked (-: Presume River Road will be the Saturday ride? I'll probably haul the DR behind the truck camper.

(or you could just go straight to Magdalena) When you get to the top of the mountain stay on the main road go north to withington lookout I am thinking that we will be there around 11:00 let me know if you are coming

If you or anyone coming from the south, I would recommend parking at the plaza in Monticello and if you could bring some extra fuel there are a few riders who are going to be cutting it close
