Sidecar tips
Pasomonte,
Thanks for the tips! They are a very welcome addition to the information I've been collecting!
I'm following Cannon Shot's GPS files and have created KML files from them so I can preview the route on Google Earth and on Google Maps.
Regarding the Mt. Taylor to Cuba section. I would be very disappointed to miss this section as this appears to be some of the most remote areas of NM. With my rig, I can handle anything that a standard pick up can do without 4x4. Sand is not too much of a problem unless it is deep enough that, again in a pickup, you would need to air down and use 4x4 to plow through.
If you would recommend nothing less than a 4x4 pickup for this sction, do you know the area well enough to be able to comment on the following alternative?
From Grants head north to hwy 509 and then take 509 towards Pueblo Pintado, but rather than all the way up to Pueblo Pintado, take Indian Service Route 7004 to hwy 197.
Regarding the nasty section above Lagunitas Lake. You are saying to turn off of Cannon Shots route (following [87] at that point) and onto [87A] [443] Los Pinos River Access Road to Conejo Colorado? Then from Conejo, take Hwy 79 west to where it intersects the route again, right?
Thanks again for your input!
