Since a suck a making routes and generally don't even have the slightest clue where things are, I am going with the Garmin get me there route the the tried and true Google maps

right now am

Day 1 (A-B ) sept 14 set off to SW-fog from home

Day 2 (B-C) Sept 15 take sweet ass time getting to Taos by wondering about semi aimlessly checking out NM

Day 3 sept 16 sleep-in and rest up for the debauchery that will be SW-FOG

Sunday i might head down to Roswell depending on funds (i have a soft spot of weird shit)

 
and you are not coming to Vancouver why?
R
1.) I have been super busy @ work

2.) they only let me off work 2 weeks a year.

3.) am a poor kid

If given unlimited time off from work with pay i would make every FJR meet. :greedy:

If you're not planning on hitting these roads during the gathering and you've still got the energy toward the end of your 2 day approach, this slight change would make your final approach into Taos a little more interesting. <clicky>
