| While near Taos, stop by at the Kaktus Brewing Co. in Bernalillo and say hi to John. He's a great guy and owner of a nice Westy. I know him from Syncro Solstice. |

Is there any camping near the Taos Mesa Brewery?

There is camping on site with bathrooms and showers included with the 35 dollar fee.
There is also tons of camping around taos and I can help you find the perfect spot away from the crowds if it will be too much commotion. They do no allow generators so I imagine there will be quiet time.
They have a facebook page

Hoping to split a big beer at KTAO with Ya, Tobias.

Thanks, we'll keep you posted!
There's a chance we'll Pacific Coast to the Mojave instead and will know in a month or so. Our friend's pushing us to Taos, he misses his dance partner (Ahem, my Missus).

The forests are mostly back open as of 8am this morning.
Anyone want to escape the heat and come up to the mountains?
I know this is an old thread but it really would be nice to have a New Mexico gathering |
