Oops forgot title

Here it is, Sept 20th., and we are on our way to Albuquerque. This is our 4th year as a Navigator at the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival.
So where are today? We had thought about heading to the Elks lodge in Las Vegas, NM. We love this Elk's, friendly, FHU with 30 amps. But, we said lets go to the state park just a few miles outside of Las Vegas.

Storrie Lake State Park, it has a few 30 amps site along with water, many sites with just water and then the dry camping along the shore line.

Weather has been very helpful, breeze, even though in the low 80's it is very comfortable. We choose a non-electric site, and we have not been sorry. Each morning is a walk, checking out the new sites and photo ops, like these:

 The black line is not a crack in the pavement, that is a very long line of ants, moving to a new home. The line must have stretched at least 25 feet.


New Solar Light Wind Directions device. It really works.

So, any special photos shots along the way down? You Decide.

Our overnight stop in Raton, I spotted this place on Google maps:

Using Satellite View I found this empty building.





Now, as long as we are in Colorado, specially around Los Animas, Co., we always stop in and see Rose, my ex., but still close friend.
As we drove along this is the first time spied Ladies of the Day waiting:



Then just down the road we saw the well preserve Train Depot.


Our first stop was along a familiar one, taken back in 2013 and 2014, Fort Morgan, Co. We had stopped at the city park in 2013. Well, the park is still there but no overnight parking. We thought we try Walmart in town, Nope not allowed.

I have read about a municipal park in Brush, Co., 7 miles east of Ft. Morgan. We located the Brush Memorial Campground. What was once free for the first night is now $25, but hey 50 amps and water if needed.

Anyway, back to Las Vegas, we have decided to stay here until Monday, where we will head over to Cochiti Lake, a COE CG, where we will stay until time to head in to AIBF, 1st of Oct.

So stay safe, stay tune








Safe travels and journeys
