November ART

I finally dug out my watercolors last week and managed to complete this painting of Naeroyfjord, one of the steepest & deepest fjords in Norway. We went up the fjord on a rib boat -- an open tube-shaped boat that is very fast and can maneuver right up to the waterfalls. It was a blast. It was breathtaking. It was one of those experiences to last a lifetime. (and it was cold!)

Fall Migration - Elephant Butte Lake

Moving day. We left Oliver Lee State Park (near Alamogordo NM and White Sands National Monument) at daybreak, took the trailer to Discount Tires in Alamogordo for balance & rotate, and then headed west and north (wrong direction?) to South Monticello campground at Elephant Butte State Park. This is on the Rio Grand, south of Albuquerque and north of Truth or Consequences NM.

We had heard good things about this place, decided to check it out, and are not disappointed so far. Huge RV sites, spaced far apart, nice views of the hills across the lake. Tomorrow we'll don the hiking boots & check out one of the trails.

Fall Migration - Fire in the Sky over White Sands

As promised, spectacular sunset view from our RV spot at Oliver Lee State Park NM. The sun sets below the San Andres Mountains backing White Sands National Monument. Our camp is in the foothills of the Sacramento Mountains, about 10 miles as the crow flies from White Sands. With just the right mix of dust, clouds, and humidity the sunsets simply can't be beat.

Fall Migration Winter Wonderland

We have WINTER at Santa Rosa Lake State Park NM. Historic snow & cold for this time of year. I WONDER how we LANDed here for this event.

Land of Enchantment - Sunrise over Santa Rosa Lake

Welcome to our World! 

Have a great weekend!

Land of Enchantment Fall Migration stop #2

Welcome to November! We are now at Santa Rosa Lake State Park in New Mexico. A beautiful lake on the Pecos River - great RV campground in a pristine setting. We had a great view of a lovely sunrise this morning.
