Probation and fines aren't enough in my opinion. The judge needs to sentence them to many, many hours behind the business end of a pickaxe and McCleod and put them to building trail and doing restoration projects.

You ought to PM "Bosque Bill" on this forum. He lives and roams NM a lot.

I definitely agree with you on the hot spring!

Looks like a great trip. Did your son catch one of those lunkers?

I use a Steri-Pen and it works great and is super light weight. The big drawback is that, although it renders water safe to drink, it's not a filter, so you might find yourself drinking mucky water that's safe, but tastes bad. The Steri-Pen is great for backpacking when weight is an issue or...

Very nice. The colors of the landscape seemed so saturated; I guess that's what a little rain can do. Was the swimming hole (the final pic) a hot spring by chance?

I managed to find the yarn for the Utah Killer Bug, so that's what I use. In fact, I used your exact article to learn how to tie them!

I will. He's retired Forest Service and also grew up in Ruidoso. I get back about once a year--more so to visit The Old Road Restaurant in Mescalero...

You're right, it's fun to get another person's perspective on the same trip. I too was tempted to drive up to Silver Creek, but I was in "go home mode" and let it get the best of me. I plan to check it out the next time I'm in the area. Boy, my rig didn't feel as unlevel as it looks in our...

Wow, what a beautiful lake. Why haven't I heard about this place before? Well, now I have and it'll be on my "to do" list soon. I like the beach umbrella--I'm all about cheap and effective. While reading you TR, I thought, I'm going to have to send you a link to a Meat Bee trap I just found...

Camping with kids brings back some old memories (very good ones). It gets even more fun as they get older. After having a Meat Bee experience of my own last weekend, I found a very good article on how to trap them. It's very simple and can easily be done while camping. Here's a link to the...

Yes it was! Very good eye, especially since the fly itself was blurry. I see you're from the Sacramento Mtns. of NM. I'm originally from SE NM (Roswell/Ruidoso) and my dad's in Alamogordo...small world.

Three peaks in a day would wear me out. At least I know I'd sleep well that night...even with the hoopla going on nearby. I really liked the low light shots you took on you first night. The Golden Hour.

I think your desk has the best views imaginable. What beautiful country. Keep em coming.

Last weekend the Ski3Pins and the "Teds" invited Dexter and I to join them for some camping and fishing along Wolf Creek, in the eastern Sierras, near Sonora Pass. I had a great time with wonderful people in a beautiful place. Here's a link to my blog for the Trip Report: WOLF CREEK Fish & Camp

It's amazing what rain will do. We've gone over 90 straight days without measurable precip. here in Reno!

I'm a HUGE fan of leaving the tailgate on. I didn't think I would be at first but ever since my maiden voyage with my Bobcat, I've love it. I have a "porch" now and I can stand on it to access things stored on the roof and I'm always setting things on it.

That inspiration happened to me a couple of weeks ago--ever since then I've had that "new haircut" feeling.

The black seat back rolls over to make a bed. Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

Yes, I did. I looked all over the Internet for a rollover hinge and I could not find them for sale anywhere. Luckily, my neighbor has a FWC with the rollover bench and I took all of the measurements and made the hinge myself. Here it is in its raw state: Here's the finished hinge.

I built a small dinette table for my Bobcat that I finally think will work. The first dinette table I built was too big and impractical to be used on most occasions, so I scaled it all down, and this is what I came up with: Here's a link to my blog for the Dinette Build.

What a great trip! You all do the grandparent thing right. Family time like that is priceless. I really enjoyed your TR.

I was thinking about the same thing. I plan to hit a couple of thrift shops and find a little day pack (I've always seen them there in the past) and hang it from the back seat. I think I could hang it off of the head rest. A day pack would also give me another pocket or two for pens, paper, etc.

Love my Bobcat, but a flatbed's in my future. I'm looking forward to your pics and trip reports.

Ha ha, caught with your pants down... While reading your tale, I thought the trout was going to take your whole rod into the water. Glad to hear that you only lost from the tippet down.
