This park is just a few miles from Fort Sumner, NM where Billy the Kid was killed. Friday will be Billy the Kid museums and Fort Sumner.
Campsite pictures, we are in site 5.
Here are some pictures of Eastern New Mexico’s fall bird, the wasp. The park ranger at Bottomless Lakes SP said they get a bunch of these every fall and we have had our share today.
Motorhome improvement.
Don’t know if this is as much of an improvement or simply to make my life easier. As we spend more time traveling we are setting up and taking down camp many more times each year. Tuesday we stopped at Home Depot in Roswell and picked up 4 sets of quick couplers for our water supply system.
These brass couplers will sure make getting water a lot easier. I’m sure I will enjoy them. Speaking of water, our drinking water is a lot better this year than what we had last fall. This year we are filtering the water through 3 filters before it gets to the holding tank and then once more at the kitchen faucet. The water in the bathroom sink is much much better than what we had last year. I am using a universal water filter right at the park water faucet, than a large 2 stage filter before it goes into the holding tank and than a universal filter at the drinking water tap at the kitchen sink. When we traveled down here for two weeks at a time we could get by with the bad taste for several days, however when we are here for 2 to 3 months at a time good tasting water becomes more important.
