New Mexico State Parks

.We arrived in San Cruces and found a nearby state park located at a dam site on the Rio Grande River. It's named Leasburg Dam State Park.  At these lower elevations, it is very hot and accompanied with strong gusty winds, making the trailer rock.  We found a campsite, and didn't unhitch, as we were level.  As soon as the camper was open, I turned on the A/C as it was in the lo 90's with strong gusty winds.  Not pretty, at all.

Tomorrow we head for the Silver City area, where daytime highs are in the lo 80's.  Silver City has a super Walmart and also the headquarters for the Gila National Forest, where we will be camping through memorial day weekend.

The New Mexico Park Campground facilities that we have experienced (all of 2 campgrounds) are very nice.  The bathhouse where we are now is clean, modern, air conditioned, private rather than communal showers with lots and lots of hooks to hang things.

Near sundown last night the winds abated and as it was cooling off, we went for a very short walk, and then sat outside for a bit.

The lone picture is taken as we sat out, with the moon hovering over the camper.
