Looks nice and quiet
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Very nice. I've never been as far south as NM, I've always imagined it as being flat and desert like.

There is a lot of forest in NM. I especially like Lincoln County.

Looks nice Al. My sister lived in Albuquerque for about 20 years. I visited a few times but have only driven through the northern part of the state. I also enjoyed Santa Fe.
Enjoy your stay!...safe travels.

Is that the Lincoln County of Billy The Kid fame?

And I may be the only one that doesn't understand this, but what is meant by the "adult section"?

Beautiful place, like that there is an adult section. My wife keeps nagging me to take the SW trip and your pics inspire me to do so. Maybe next spring… :D

Yes. You can visit the old store that once held Billy and the staircase where he shot the deputy.

No kids allowed up in the adult section and you need to be 55 or older to be up here. I didnt choose it for that reason of being old or not liking children. It was the only spot I could get at the time I made my reservations as this park stays full most of time. Its a seasonal park so they shut down in October. I have a spot reserved for next year down on the river.

Walked into town today to do some sightseeing and have some fun. Our friends went along and about an hour into the journey we decided to ride the chair lift to the top of the mountain. It was worth every bit of the fee which was only 25.00 a head. Had a little lunch on top with a Dos Equis. Took a few photos while enjoying the view

Well today we ventured out to the two rivers edge. It just happened to be the joining of the Rio Grande and the Red River. Took a couple photos but as you can see the edge of both rivers are far below. 800 feet of canyon carved through Basalt. It was a nice view
