We traveled up to Arlington, TX to see my brother Wes for
the weekend. We stayed at Cedar Hill
State Park. I had not seen Wes for about
9 months so it was good seeing him again.
Heading on toward Colorado we stopped off at Palo Duro
Canyon State Park for a few days to check out the Canyon. It was nice but I guess we were expecting
something more like the Grand Canyon, on a smaller scale of course. It was nice, but hot already and not many
hiking trails.
On to Albuquerque, NM to see Norm’s friend Marc and his
mom. We have a nice 3 day visit with
them. Kathryn volunteers for a local
live theatre and she treated us to tickets to see one of their
productions. Good Times. And always fund visiting with them.

Then it was on toward Colorado. But a few more stops first. We stayed at a forest campground not far from
Albuquerque called Linda Vista campground in Jemenez Springs, NM. A very nice little campground. Dry camping.
The host was real nice. We would
consider hosting here sometime.
Traveling north toward Bloomfield/Farmington went went to
Angel Peak Recreation Area. This is a
free BLM campground that isn’t used very much.
We found this place 2 years ago on our way to Colorado. This time we stayed in a day use area parked
right on the canyon rim with beautiful views.
We dry camped there for a week.
No trails and not much to do there but enjoy the beautiful views of the
canyon. After 7 days there we went into
Aztec, NM to stay a couple days to dump, recharge batteries, shop and stock up
on groceries before moving on.
