Kay invited us to join her for a short walk this morning before we left Dave’s driveway. It gave us a chance to get to know her better and to get some exercise before getting in the coach for a long day of driving.
Today is John’s birthday. Our final destination before heading to Norman, OK and then home was going to be a stay at a National Forest campground about 60 miles west of Taos which means we had a long day of driving. This is the longest we have traveled since we arrived in New Mexico in early August. The campground we thought we would stay at was not very appealing so we decided to go on to Red River and camp at Fawn Lakes again. Bad move, all the National Forest campgrounds along the Red River were closed up tight even though they were supposed to be open until October! So back on the road and over to Cimarron Canyon and another stay at the Maverick campground in the State Park. We pulled in at 5:30 PM - a 7-hour driving day. We have had our fill of commercial campgrounds and city life for the last week or so. It is so nice to be in a pine forest with a mountain stream as background music.
This was the best part of the day for John’s birthday. He may have driven all day but tomorrow he will celebrate by fishing for trout and building me a roaring campfire!
