Default Wheeling in southern new mexico

So I went wheeling yesterday and thought i would show the pictures. It was about 5 miles of trail that took about 5 hours. We had to stop and guide the group down/up waterfalls ranging from a easy 18" to a gas tank scraping 3'

only damages were a 3" lifted cherokee getting a few rocker kisses (really nice big wet ones) and a 4.5" lifted cherokee backing into a tree and getting stuck....

also did a little recovery The strap around the axle was there for safety reasons we did not have to yank her at all once we moved the rock

Yeah A mountain gets a little boring unless you are on a mountain bike, I like Donna ana! it has some great trails for all levels!!! and there is a place out by the airport that is part of the high desert tour. It is pretty awesome! and of course the chili challenge courses since they are in my backyard lol
