Aug. 29, Thursday


Moving on day.  :(  We checked out from the RV park and dropped the motorhome at Winston & Ginger's to allow us to do a little more sightseeing in Lincoln, NM - home of Billy the Kid.  We met Winston for lunch at the historic Wortley Hotel in Lincoln.  Great food, we bought some of their fresh Pico de Gallo salsa.  We explored the history of the town, they have kept very authentic to the time of Billy the Kid & the Lincoln County wars.  www.nmmonuments.org/lincoln

Back in the motorhome we headed out for our next home, Brantley Lake State Park, just north of Carlsbad, NM.  Easy to find by the signs, but 4.5 miles back in from the highway.  A large reservoir, but very low.  The locals say this is the 4th dry year.  It is at least 20 degrees warmer here than where we have come from.  Set up by 6:00, supper, a short hike and guess what?  Another beautiful sunset!
