Anything cool to do in NM during August? Plan on going to Carlsbad, Taos, and SantaFe.

Would be interested to meet up with a group for a liitle while I am out there.

Your going to some great places already and there is plenty more hidden gems to see.
I'm sure we will have something going while you are visiting.

ALBUQUERQUE !! you can't visit here unless you can spell it Just kidding. There are a lot of interesting things here, Moved here from Maryland myself

[Ivan @ Southwest Speed]

August 1st will be our next monthly Camaro5.com Meet and Greet.

We'll post up a thread about it more than likely a week or so out. Directions will be included. Check out some of our other threads here in the Southwest Forums for pics and details on each meet.

We also get it on down at the Sandia Motor Speedway. I'd give you the dates, but the flyers are IN MY CAR AT THE SHOP!!! LMAO D'oh!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that July 10th and 24th are SMS days

I'm pretty sure that August 7th and 21st are also a green light.

My partners in crime will certainly correct me if I'm wrong. If nothing else, come out to watch. You never know what you'll see........ :O

We're trying to be an active group and everyone...I mean everyone...here is all about good times and the Camaro.

Stick to the Southwest Forums and you'll be sure to run into something every couple of weeks or so.

The Albuquerque Cruising thread is just all of us basically leaving "post-its" to each other and keeping in touch between the activities that we do.

Welcome aboard!

Glad to have some fresh faces!
Ivan

Thanks. I come out every few years. We have much more time on this go round. We are definitely looking to visit from a locals perspective if possible.

Thanks. I hope I can meet up on the first. Not sure if we will be there just yet, but if so I will pop in. I can tell you the first thing i will do when I pop into town is find a good restraunt with "green chile stew and sopapillas". You cannot get that here on the east coast, and the sopapillas they make here are like crunchy flour squares. Not worth buying as a desert.

I will keep checking the thread for updates.

Thanks everyone for replying. I shall see you in August.

Yes you can visit now !!, I'll be getting delivery on my Camaro in Aug, perhaps I'll have it by the time you come out. What part of Va. are you from

[edog]

I am from Fredericksburg Va. I have lived all over Va in the 30 years since moving here from Biloxi Ms. Hopewell, Petersburg, Langley AFB, Va. Beach, Dinwiddie, Alexandria, Manassas, Reston, Woodbridge, Fredericksburg, Forestville Md, and Oakton. Wow, that is a mouthful. Not bad for 30 years. Military...

How about yourself? Where were you from?

My mom moved to Albuquerque in 78'. I have been there a few times. I am so looking to come back. It is such an awesome area of the country. Hatch chili draws me back more than anything. I can order it in, but there is something to be said for the SW style cooking. MMM, MMM, good!

[Gigachip]

If its not out of your way, I recomend visiting Carlsbad Caverns. Its a nice place

[Ocikat]

moved here from Columbia Md about 6 years ago, sounds like your Air Force !! I work on Kirtland AFB quite a few Camaros on base here. Definately don't have the same SW cooking back east, but.......... we don't have crab cakes like eastern shore, bring some with !! drive fast so they're fresh

[Ocikat]

ditto here about Carlsbad Caverns, worth checking out if you've not been

[edog]

Carlsbad is a great place. We lived in Colorado as a kid, and swung in when we moved to Ms. Took the family back a few years ago so the wife and kids could see it. We have Luray over here, but it does not compare. Carlsbad is on the agenda again this time. They did not get to watch the bats exit the cave last time. It is a must on this trip.

Carlsbad, Sandia peak, Taos, white sands, Santafe, Hatch, and other areas we can think of. Looking for some great ideas.

[Ocikat]

when you go to Taos, drive the "Enchanted Circle" Taos to Angle fire to Red River back to Taos. would be a nice drive in your Camaro
