Following are some photos I've taken of the various campsites here at City of Rocks in New Mexico. There is a site for anyone - I like the sites with a wide open western view so I'll get the longest solar input for my panels. I'll bet during the hot summer days, the sites that are surrounded by large rocks are the first to go. Some are better for tents - the flat surfaces are too small for an RV, even one as short as The Palms.
First is The Palms, the before and after -I had to turn her around to face the winds and dust storms that we had for three days. I had to move her nose to the west to stop the constant rocking.
The rest of this post is all photos, twice what I usually post, but they were ready to go and I thought it would be better to have them all in the same post. I hope you don't have trouble bringing up all the shots. As always, if you click on the picture you'll be able to see more detail.

These are just some of the sites here at City of Rocks, they are all numbered and also named after the constellations. If you're in the vicinity, check out this park - it is a one of a kind, for sure!
From Me and My Dog, have a great Sunday, everyone! :)
I wanna go! Putting it on my list. Thanks for the share.
ReplyDeleteI love love love the site with the truck camper. It looks so cozy and warm. Your site looks very pretty too. Wish I were there, we are having a MAJOR snow storm here right now. Looks like a blizzard.
ReplyDeleteThose sites look like a lot of fun. I even liked the kitchen view of Rock.
