When we first set out on our road adventures in 2020 we planned to start in New Mexico. I really wanted to see the tent rocks. Unfortunately when we arrived we discovered their Covid rules were much stricter and they wouldn’t allow you to camp without a NM drivers license and they closed their parks.
2021 came and we decided to try again only this time ending our trip there. If you don’t know, we had to end our trip abruptly last year due to Mais getting RSV and get back to sea level so we didn’t make it.
Here we are 2022 and this is our year to see New Mexico….or so we thought. After booking a nearby campsite and heading towards tent rocks I happened to go on the government site to see that they had closed it down for construction. Ugh! Okay well we have a campsite so fine…yeah….closest other hikes were 1.5 hours away so see made a u-turn and scratched that idea losing the campsite fee, some time and gas.
Onto an amazing boon-docking spot I found near Angel Fire. After a bumpy detour (thanks to google maps) we made it to only see a “road closed” sign. Not again. It’s becoming comical and we’re realizing New Mexico may just not be in the cards for us. Lol
We strolled down to a beautiful little lake we saw and decided to stretch our legs and do some research for where to stay. Mais loves her some lakes, rivers and creeks so she was insistent that we get on a boat and go out. So we rented a pedal boat and let her steer the ship.
After a few calls we found the very last open spot at a nearby RV park. RV parks aren’t our fave due to being right on top of all your neighbors but when that’s all you got you go for it. The thunder rolled in and we settled down with some pot roast by Dinners by Delaine and called it a night.
