Sumner Lake State Park near Fort Sumner, NM.
Arrived mid-afternoon, yesterday, Monday the 24th. A beautiful, clear, cool day. We decided to stay in the primitive area rather than in the regular RV campground. We’re camped on a spit of land jutting into Lake Sumner. Among the most beautiful campsite setting we can recall. We have the whole area to ourselves. Let Gopher off her leash. She just roams around, swims & chases the stick. Wish she knew what cactus was. So far she hasn’t stepped on any. Carol walked around a little then found a sunny place to sit, stay warm, read her book & enjoy the great view. She’s just as happy as can be.
Today we’ve been trying to think of equally beautiful campsites we’ve stayed in. Decided Curry Hammock or Long Key in the Fla. Keys, Brooklyn Lake in the Snowy Range of Wyoming, the City Campground in Seward Alaska, the campground in Denali or here, are the most scenic of all.
Met two other couples camping. They are all retired school teachers. Just traveling here & there like us.
Tomorrow we continue on to Santa Rosa Lake SP.
