Thursday, November 4, 2010 – Travel Day to Three Rivers Campground, NM

Got up early as planned, and were pulling out by 7:45 a.m. Stopped at a Denny’s about 10 miles south (since when was a “strip” of bacon 2 inches long?), got fuel and propane and went shopping at Wal-mart before heading down to the Lincoln National Forest. It was one of the more boring landscapes we’ve seen for a long time. Though there were some mountain ranges in the background, it was mostly a desert. The only interesting area as what looked like a lava field, full of black rock chunks for miles near the end of the trip. The roads were fine until the last five miles, where the gravel got a little washboard-y. We were met by the camp hostess Christy, who showed us around. We picked our spot, put the horses in a round-pen sized corral and didn’t take long to pick up water in the RV and get settled in. We were both tired, so we called it an early night.
