Full House
Elizabeth and I had a blast hosting last year, and we'd like to continue on hoping everything opens back up by the end of next year. This is mainly to get this on peoples radar for possible trips next year.
I don't have all the fine details yet, but it will follow the usual format of games starting as early as Wed, going through Sunday. Early arrivals are welcome and there is plenty to see and do in our corner of New Mexico. We bumped it up a week so some of the fall foliage will still be around, and maybe no snow yet.
We'd like to keep this open to any PCF member in good standing who wants to attend. Everyone needs to start somewhere so if this is your first get off the fence and come on down!
Date: October 13th-16th 2021
Where: Angel Fire, New Mexico - the far northeast corner of New Mexico, about 30 miles from Taos.
How to get here: Nearest airports are Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Colorado Springs, or Denver. Amarillo is also on the list but its a hair further. If you have your own jet you can land here in Angel Fire, we have one of the highest runways you can land a commercial jet on in the US. As we get closer and flights leveled out we can arrange for shuttling people to and from the airport if you don't want to rent a car, or sharing cars till you get here. Getting a suburban or two here is not a problem.
Lodging: I've got some room at my house, a bedroom with a queen, a bedroom with two fulls, a twin in the loft, and two air mattresses for the loft if needed - Previous attendees (@Lil Tuna @detroitdad) and Meetup Hosts have priority. We also have one of the largest property managers in the area (150 properties) in our poker group, so we should be able to find some good houses is needed at a reasonable rate.
Local Attractions you may want to see (after coming this far)
Ojo Caliente Hot Springs
Rafting the Rio Grande
Hiking all over the place
Rio Grange Gorge Bridge and the Earthships
Taos
Santa Fe
The town of Red River
Fly fishing in the Cimmaron
NRA Wittington Center - gun heaven. I'm not kidding it's unreal. Bring your artillery and rent a cabin on the ranges.
Hikes to places unknown to the public - Climb Dead Mans Mesa (Ask @Lil Tuna )
And here in our valley we have Eagle Nest Lake and a couple small private lakes we can use.
Mount Capulin and Folsom - hike into the extinct volcano and see where some of the oldest tools made by man in North America were found
I'll post some pictures of last years event soon. Here is a link to last years event
