New to New Mexico.

boxaga · 06-02-2011, 12:12 PM

Hey all, new to the NM/Albaquerque area, moved out here for my duty station. Wondered if there was a chapter near here (did a forum search turned up nothing and not familiar enough with the area to know what's close)

Owned my 2002 wrx for a while, went to a few meetings in south OC, The meetings were outside the shop I worked at, made it easy to find. Any help is highly appreciated. Also looking for a good tuner in the area I need yo get everything checked out after my drive from the coast, sea level to a mile high is setting something off.

Welcome to NM!

As I've mentioned elsewhere, we have two things going for us. Food and scenery.

I suggest that you take a cruise up the Turquoise Trail when you get the chance. Stop off in Madrid and poke around for a while. Then continue up to Santa Fe and grab a bite to eat at one of the many awesome restaurants in town. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Tomasita's.

Then, if the day is still young, head north out of Santa Fe to Los Alamos. There are a couple of casinos on the way if that's your thing. Once at Los Alamos, you can come back to Albuquerque through the Jemez Mountain Trail.

My friends and I used to make this jaunt on our motorcycles every week in the summer. It's a beautiful ride!

welcome to NM. check out some of the local forums for more happenings. The car scene (and Subaru scene) is suprisingly large in Albuquerque. Hope to see you around!
