June 16th & 17th Santa Fe New Mexico

 June 16th & 17th Santa Fe New Mexico

Headed out from Eagles Nest Lake State Park Santa Fe Skies RV Park in Santa Fe. As I mentioned in the previous post we did stop in Taos for some shop scouting.  In Santa Fe we had a great camping spot at Santa Fe Skies and although the weather was hot there was a pleasant view. On the 17th we traveled to Bandelier National Monument and toured the visitor center and walked a trail to some cliff houses.

At Santa Fe Skies they had an interesting exhibit of old machines which thrilled all the little kids in the park and also this mechanical engineer!

The cliff dwellings that were carved into these ancient walls.


After Bandelier we continued our day drive to Los Alamos to visit Elaine's former co-worker at Clark University Library, Mott Linn.  We had a nice time catching up with Mott and a nice dinner at the local golf course restaurant. After dinner we bid good bye to Mott forgetting to take a picture and headed back to Santa Fe Skies.

July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD

 July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD Did a relative straight route east from Ten Sleep to the Badlands National Park.  Stayed at the Badlands Interior RV Park.  The drive was very interesting from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, WY as we drove west on route 16 through a very scenic mountain gorge of the Bighorn National Forest.  It looks like a great place to camp if you are ok boondocking(no electric or water).  The views are great and it looks like a great place for mountain climbers.  After Buffalo, it was a straight shot on I-90 to the route 240 exit for the Badlands and the badlands Interior Campground.  That night we had the most intense rain and wind storm so far this trip.  Seems like the winds are very powerful out in the western territories. The next morning we took a short drive into the Badlands and saw some impressive landscapes. Our route east on State route 16 and I-90 from Ten Sleep to the Badlands Zoom view of the Bighorn Gorge e...

 June 20th &21st, Desert View Grand Canyon East We reserved a campsite at Desert View campground for two nights.  It was a boondock with no water or electric hookup.  No problem as my 400 watt solar panels and extra water tank did fine.  The weather was very nice with a balmy 90C in the shade with a nice breeze.
