first night in Caprocks Canyon
four nights in Chama, NM
coming from s. Texas, the 45-degree mornings made for a happy camper
they're robbing the train
end of the July 4th train ride in Chama was the best fireworks show I've ever seen - a full hour and a very well designed show
sorry, my camera doesn't do any good for that.
with a side trip to Taos
for any thinking about heading that way (northern NM) - all the National Forests are closed to all activities - Stage 3 fire restrictions - so only private water and private camping is accessible.
Heading back south, we spent a night in Roswell
Then a short drive the next morning to Carlsbad
at $6 admission for a 4-hour self-guided tour, Carlsbad is the best entertainment value on the planet.
and on for a final night in Ft. Stockton (move on, nothing to see there - well, telephone poles- they don't have tree one)
What made it all possible was a Mac with a headphones splitter and a big stack of dvds.
Last stop was Cooper's BBQ in Junction, followed by a watermelon at the Junction city park
we give this vacation two thumbs up
