July 18, 2018 - Day 2 of our drive was another 550 miles and 10 or so hours on the road. It is a LONG way to California! Today saw higher elevations and cooler overall temperatures. Our stop for the night, Bluewater Lake State Park, New Mexico (between Albuquerque and Gallup) - elevation 7400 ft and 74 degrees when we arrived.
We like to stop at State Parks whenever we can. We have found most parks to be well maintained, with electrical hook-ups, and much nicer sites than the private campgrounds that are just off the highway. We took advantage of the cooler weather to take a nice afternoon walk!
We walked out to this dam overlook. Impressive dam! This particular trail turned out to be just a ‘social trail’ and a little sketchy, so we didn’t go much further.
Shish kebabs on the grill for dinner! We didn’t even need the AC!
We slept well in the cool - 61 degrees this morning! We got out for a morning walk , knowing that tonight would probably not be a s cool, nor as nice of a campground.
