Day 40: Las Cruces, NM to Caballo, NM


The wind is forecast to blow strongly from the west all week which doesn't bode well for us. Laundry and eating make us late leaving Las Cruces. The worst time for the winds it seems is mid afternoon so naturally we head off at 1. We get shelter from the pecan trees north of Las Cruces but quickly we're fighting the wind.


As the evening approached the wind started to die down and we made it to the state park at Caballo Lake. Hooray, they have primitive camping for $8, a lot more reasonable than encountered so far. We've set up a spot on the shore overlooking the lake.


The stars are out. This is such a stunning place to spend the night.
