Aztec, NM

We planned on finding a campground in Bloomfield or Farmington, so we parked the RV at a casino and started checking out the area with the little car Wednesday afternoon. Well, the campgrounds around here are not quite what I had hoped for so it took us a while to find a place in Aztec, which is about 10 miles from Bloomfield, where the mail was being delivered. The campground does not have a clubhouse or laundromat, but it is very reasonably priced and the laundromat is about 1/2 mile down the road. I have learned by now that you can't always be picky. As long as I have water, electric and sewer, I shall not complain. We are still deciding if we should get a washer and dryer in the rig or me keep going to laundromats, while on the road.

It has been interesting moving north from Texas. We have been through the desert, which is pretty, but not for me. By now we are starting to see real trees again and spring apparently just arrived here. It is beautifully green and I enjoy the small rivers, green pastures and meadows. We started our explorations of the area by checking out the local Aztec Arches. Should you ever want to do this make sure you have a GPS with you. The directions read "drive 6.2mile on CR 2770 and take a left up a hill", but GPS coordinates are given. But who needs directions when you can just drive on a dirt road with no idea where you are going .We do like challenges and it was very interesting.




As we are crawling around in these rock formations the weather started to look very interesting.

As cool as it was to watch the storm moving around the area, we decided to head back home and got to the rig just in time before the downpour started.
