Our next journey has begun. We’re taking a three-and-a-half week trip to visit several National Parks and National Monuments around the southwest. Our niece, Ashley Warwick, will be joining us for the entire trip and my sister, Julie Warwick, will be spending the last two weeks with us.

Debbie, Ashley, and I started out with the prerequisite drive across west Texas, through Clovis, NM, and north to Ute Lake State Park near Logan, NM. It’s a nice park and made for a good stopover point on our way to Angel Fire, NM.

We left Logan, NM and headed towards Angel Fire, NM, via Springer. Much of the way was on NM state highways which made for a shorter trip. The “highlight” was a stretch along NM-39 that was marked “Rough Road Next 25 Miles”. I must say, they didn’t lie. That road was really bumpy, but even the other sections of the NM state highways that we traveled were all pretty rough. The switchback climb just west of the small town of Mosquero, NM offered some really great views back to the east.
Just after lunch, we arrived at the Angel Fire RV Resort where we’re staying for the next few day while we attend the Balloons Over Angel Fire balloon festival. Debbie and Ashley are hoping to catch a ride in one of the balloons. We also plan on taking a run up to Red River while we’re here.
