Route 66 Rodders Mud Run: Our June picnic is an
annual event. It is normally held at the Jemez Falls Picnic Area
the second weekend in June. Our picnic was officially dubbed the
"Mud Run" during our second year, when a sudden and
unexpected rainstorm covered the roads with a layer of red mud.
One can only guess what color most of our hotrods became on the
drive home. We now enjoy the beautiful cruise, but watch the
sky overhead.
