Kiva RV Park, Bernardo, NM: Apr 29-30
This is a nice little park next to the interstate, which at the Passport America rate of $10/night is quite worth it. We didn't think we could drive the full 250 miles from Deming to ABQ in one day, and certainly couldn't face ABQ's traffic at the end of what would have been one of our longest days, so we found this park along the way -- 190 miles along the way. Still much farther than we like to drive in a day, but we figured it would make for a short drive before having to face urban traffic. Besides, we were looking forward to a couple of sightseeing options near Bernardo. These plans were dashed, unfortunately, as the wind picked up shortly after we finished setting up and continued relentlessly through the next day. These were the same winds that were responsible for the resurgence of the deadly Trigo fire southeast of ABQ, which had been almost 100% contained until wind-blown embers rekindled the blaze beyond the containment lines.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 5:34 PM
