Folks, I'm not an organized event guy, but this is one of the funnest, low keyed gatherings you will ever attend. Killer NM roads in the area too. If you are a BMW fan/gear head, both Parkhurst and Glaves (speakers) are world class mechanical encyclopedias, and great folks. I'm really tempted to ride up but it would require some serious negotiation due to another upcoming trip.

I just pinged my friend in British Columbia to see if he wanted to tie this event into our Sept UT meet up. Your pics bring it all back to me. The hotel idea is a good one too.
 
Ha! you can tell how old those pictures are. That outside bar burned down a couple of year ago. I don't have a photo of the new setup.

Oops... I did find one. Went up there on a non-rally week to ride the mtn roads inside the triangle from Sipapu to Taos to Angle Fire and stayed in one of the Sipapu Ski Lodge rooms.
