| High Passes of New Mexico |
The weather has remained beautiful, in the 80's, with cold nights in the passes (8000+ft) and warm nights down around 6000ft. We are still in shorts and sandals morning til night. We spent a few days wandering in in the northern New Mexico high country, including Cimmaron Canyon, wandered the street of Taos, and then a night at Rio Brava campground on the Rio Grande south of Taos. This was a favorite campground of ours in the past and we planned on staying a while, but this year they are working on the road so dump trucks are grinding by every 1/2 hour and our homeless lady next door says she is allergic to everything and if we start a charcoal fire or cook anything or breath wrong she has to take a walk to get away from us. I guess she is famous, or infamous, in this area. She rotates stays here and in the other campgrounds even though she has a daughter nearby. She appears to have some mental health issues but is not a real threat and the campground hosts all know her and keep an eye on her. And yes, she does sleep in that VW beetle, but does not really 'camp'. No cooking or ice chest or real supplies other than a row of empty cans lined up on a railing that she has some sort of ritual with. Time for us to go.
