In the hopes of organizing a larger meet and greet this time around, I've branched out to get some input from other local Xterra owners. The culmination is a meal and wheel event!

On February 21, 2015 at 11:00 am I'm looking at having everyone meet up at Owl Cafe on Eubank & I-40. After we grub, we'll convoy out to Cedro Peak for some wheeling. I'd love to see as many people as possible come out and have some fun!

Here are the addresses for each location:

Owl Cafe:
800 Eubank Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM 87123


Cedro Peak meet up spot:
Highway 337 and Chamiso Canyon Rd. in Tijeras is the nearest intersection, and the coordinates are for the actual parking lot for airing down if need be.
35.064247, -106.371050

It would be awesome if you could go! I've been really wanting to check out your rig for a while now, and it'd be a good chance to network with other Xterra owners and do some light wheeling

Unfortunately I have a prior engagement that day. I could do the 22nd though. Wheeled Cedro couple weeks ago in the snow. Pretty easy. It's when the snow melts to mud that it gets interesting!

You should give me a call if you ever want to go wheel out there. And boo on the prior engagement, if I could move the date I would but some folks have already chimed on that date working for them. I think someone from El Paso is even looking at coming up for it.

Saw Angel Speedfreak's rig on Wyoming yesterday...pretty impressive! I wasn't in my X tho....oh, and Angel, you can get to Cedro no problem. It's not very far away at all.

Do you know who it was? I've never seen another XN rig when I've been running around town, except when I ran into NMTerras at a gas station lol.

ummm...me, or Angel? I was in my Ram truck. We said "hey" through the open windows.

I did see a lifted yellow first gen with a snork the other day...couldn't get close to it though

I'm going to try and make the meet and greet - moved my other obligation to Feb 28. However, I am going to have to clear up this "TNX meet and greet" BS...:D:

...also depending on how long it takes my UCA rebuild kit to get here from TC

I should have quoted Angel for clarification, but it seems my question was answered nevertheless. I haven't seen that yellow one for quite sometime, but I used to see it up on Eubank quite a bit.

Edit: I was stupid and completely skipped over your post NMTerras

It'd be awesome to see you over there. I understand the wanting to get the TNX bit cleared up, hopefully it can be. I offered to go and personally pick up Rok for the event, but I haven't heard anything back yet

I can't believe Old Navy just trolled us over here! I think I'm still up like 157 to 1 though... ;-)
Looking forward to meeting you, you crusty old seadog

I sent you a text about it, but I figured it got lost in the air waves. I don't mind picking you up at all dude. I'll probably need to be at your place no later than 10:15-10:03 to get you

Wait...did Rok pull his rig apart again? doh.

The bus thing was sarcasm... I live in the mountains and there aren't any bus routes out here. I'll see y'all I a month or so... with the Sleeper!

My ability to detect your sarcasm is terrible, as evidenced by you telling me to keep wrenching on my truck after splitting my head open and kept on wrenching. I thought you were being completely serious. I have to admit, it was pretty funny.

The bus thing also could've been code for something, or maybe there really is a bus that does a daily run to town. Mountain folk are interesting people...

The best part of though is hearing that you'll be bringing the sleeper. I'm pretty excited about that

I'd love to be able to make it but I have a prior engagement I cannot change up. Plus, mine may be apart for a minute; doing some changes now that I've wheeled a lot with the setup and know what needs tweaked/upgraded. Hopefully no one has to get any stitches this time ;)

Yeah, I'd really enjoy not putting another scar into my forehead hahaha. Sounds good though man, I look forward to your revisions and what'll come out of them. Maybe we can catch each other out at Moab

Looks like a decent snow storm is projected to move in Tuesday, but will warm back up through the week and into the weekend. I will call the ranger station on Wednesday for an initial trail report, and proceed to call everyday including Saturday to make sure it'll be open before we drive up there.

I'm going to suggest a different plan. If you call every day, they're going to know you're all jazzed to take a bunch of rigs up there, and they're more likely to close it. Keep it low key. Call once or twice. And do not under any circumstances share with them you're calling on behalf of a dozen rigs....

Roger that. Good thinking. I didn't even stop to think about that.

Called this morning and they are open. I'll inconspicuously call again Friday afternoon to check again, but I don't foresee it closing this weekend at all

They closed the trail over the weekend so there was no off-road action and a few folks didn't show up. However, we still had like 6-8 Xterra's come out and it was cool meeting new people. There is another event in the planning stages

Damn. Missed it.

I have too much going on, sorry I was hoping to meet you guys.

Honestly, you might be seeing the Flexterra up on the craigslist thread one more time. I just have no extra time it seems, I havent really even been able to take this thing off road yet. :( It sadens me....

Hahaha, nah, I'm the big bastard in the dark grey flag shirt. Vikings hat guy is my old co-worker and good friend who used to own an Xterra. The other TNX guys are Klanmeister (younger looking guy with his wife), Labbie (dude with ponytail), RDY2ROK (hat and shades, far right with wife), and unfortunately the other two names escape me.

And Angel, that's a bummer to hear but I definitely understand. Hopefully you'll figure something out with it though
