We did 238 \u00a0expressway miles today mostly FBB (Flat Brown & Boring). Once we got to the western edge of the TX panhandle\/NM border we started seeing flat top messes. While it looks flat the ground is tilted at a fuel milage sucking upward angle. The gusty head \/ sideways wind didn’t help anything either.<\/p>\n
We’re staying here in a New Mexico State Park, for 3 nights because of a fast moving cold front moving through. It’s a strange set up here and I bet it causes some trouble in the summer months. Without reservations, like we did, you enter the CG, the empty spots have a green sign on them saying that the site is available for just 1 night. That’s it that’s all you can have the spot for. If you want to stay longer you have 2 choices, stay and hope nobody reserves your spot online forcing you to move or you can reserve the spot online, for an additional $8 dollar fee.<\/p>\n
The Blue Hole in on the southern edge of Santa Rosa, I have seen a couple of videos about it but didn\u2019t realize where it was until we followed the signs. It\u2019s clear blue, that you can see way down but not quite to the bottom, it\u2019s 81 feet deep 60 feet around and cold at 61 degrees with an outflow of 3000 gallons a minute. \u00a0Where else in the desert can one swim or go scuba diving?<\/p>\n\n\t\t
