We left town early Sunday morning, and headed south to Eagle Nest and Taos to complete the Enchanted Circle loop. Unfourtunately. we couldn't much at Eagle Nest because of a thick fog that covered that entire valley, it disappeared as soon as we started climbing our way up to Taos Canyon...
After playing around in the snow, we were hungry, our feet were getting wet and cold and with everything full of snow and not finding a good place to set the grill, we decided to go back down to the cabin to grill some steaks and celebrate my birthday.
Like I said, it was a bit more challenging...
Goose Lake
Goose Lake. We'd been wanting to make it here for a while, after viewing lots of posts, pictures and videos about it; but being here it's something else...it's so impressive...pictures just don't do justice to this place. I guess is a matter of perspective, in the pictures these...
Goose Lake Trail
Early next morning, after a hearty breakfast; we started our way to Goose Lake. The trail was ok at first, just a little muddy from the rain the night before, but as we went higher we started to see snow...and more snow! We encountered a couple of trucks who had to turn back...

I haven't tried towing with it yet, I've worked on properly bolting down the front aluminum toolbox last weekend, because the previous owner used sheet metal screws only. I hope to have time to try it this weekend.
I'm glad it helps, I still have to try it in more extreme road conditions, I may have to make a longer arm on the TV side; I'll post the results when I do it.
One thing I forgot to mention before, between the two joint brackets there are two 3/4"weld holes that were not shown in the pictures...
Spare Tire Carrier
Today I finished installing the swing down spare tire carrier. I'm happy with the results, it's pretty sturdy and it will carry the tire safely and out of the way.
I had some polyurethane bushings and a piece of 2" dom tubing.
Cut, drilled and welded 1/4" steel plate to a...
