For the Early Birds that arrive prior to October 23, 2009 there will be short cruise planned to explore the scenic roads around the area.
For those returning to the Lincoln County and wanting to see things that they briefly saw before, there will be plenty of spare time this year!

Registration and a Meet & Greet will be on the 23rd from 2 PM- 8 PM in the hotel conference room, with some hor' dervies and some soft drinks. Note: it's BYOL. Everyone will be on their own for dinner, but there are lots of places VERY close by.
WE WILL HAVE A SHOW AND GLOW!!...depending on the weather, it will be Friday evening at dark, in the Hotel Ruidoso parking lot!! If something causes it to be moved to Saturday night, we'll resort to doing it then. Bring your lights and let's make Ruidoso GLOW!!
I'm donating a nice trophy for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The hotel is VERY near shops and places to walk to this year, so bring those sneakers!

Saturday will be a Poker Walk, through the small & wonderful village of Cloudcroft, NM!
Cut and paste www.cloudcroft.com

Cloudcroft holds a rich history of lumber and the days when getting to 9000' above sea level wasn’t easy. The Cloudcroft Museum tells stories of old and displays relics from the area. Local restaurants are good and close! Shop the old part of Cloudcroft and the newer parts of Burro Street. The people of Cloudcroft will remember we Cruisers from the past years, so wave and smile because they will know us!
Sunday morning there will be an Awards and Raffle Ceremony that will end before noon.

A 2 1/2 hour cruise to Carlsbad on Sunday after the Awards is planned for those staying in NM! Carlsbad Caverns & the Living Desert State Park are fun and VERY close!

The charity will again be Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship Center of Wylie, TX!
A GREAT organization that does wonderful things for the kids!! See www.equest.org for details.
The raffle and 50/50 will help Equest...so they can help others.

See you in New Mexico in October!! Bring a heavy jacket, the air is as cool as our PT's!!!!

Hey Lanette,

Sounds like its going to be one serious show!!! Once I get my baby on bags, and up onto a new enclosed rolling garage like Poi has, I just might have to take a little trip on up and hit one of your shows out in NM! I haven't been out your way in well over a year and a half now since I left Fed Ex. Well, at least not too far from you, as I used to roll on through Albuquerque 4 times a week in the dead of night. We used to always stopout at the Sky City Casino out just west of town to grab something at Mcdonalds, and then head over to the Casino where we always put a slip in for a drawing for a new truck, and then swing by the cashier where if you show your CDL (Commercial Drivers License) they give you $5.00 every time you pass through! ;D

Anyways, I will have to get up their again one of these days for sure! In the mean time, as promised, I am trying my absolute best to keep on track for the River for sure! I'm keeping my ride at home, tucked away in the garage. No more mods till after the River so I have no chance at having my ride in a million pieces like last year. I am avoiding any Doctors from grounding me till after the River, and I have a good little chunk of change I have put aside to pull it all off! This is the one big show for this year to actually get to hang out with the guys, and finally meet my way too cool NM Cruiser connection!!!

Go easy, stay cool, and from now on, I am going to be spending more time here every day trying to bring this place back to life, so I hope to see you around!

Thanks CM!!!That sounds like an excallent plan, keep it up and we'll see you in Laughlin!!
I'm actually scheming on cruising back to LA with the OC group, and going to a family member's wedding the next weekend...so if you can stay until Monday, you could cruise back with all of us!
Anyway, take care and I'd love it if you could make it out for the CMC '09, we'd all be happier!
If you can make it out, consider your registration paid, it's the least I could do!!!
