Morphy Lake State Park & High Road to Taos

Yesterday morning about 12 of us from Weathers RV Park caravaned to Morphy Lake State Park which is near Mora, NM. Marti, the RV park owner put this together. Good thing because we probably would not have gone otherwise. Finding this park would not have been easy on our own.

A neat thing about this state park is that the lake is on the top of a mountain. There is camping there, but signs warn you that RV's bigger than 18 feet are not allowed. I can understand why. Not only are the sites small, but the road to the park just wouldn't accommodate anything larger. We saw several pop-up campers in the park, but nothing bigger.

After a picnic lunch, Dean and I left the group to drive the "High Road to Taos" one of the state's scenic drives. We were not disappointed - scenic it was. The only problem we encountered was that about half way to Taos we ran into some real heavy rain and it stayed with us till we almost reached Taos. To bad as there were several points that I would have liked to stop and take pictures, especially of a Inn the was nestled in a valley. Can't even tell you the name of it, but it was a pretty place.

Since we were going to Taos we offered to pick up the hot dogs and buns for a wiener roast that Marti is having tonight for the campers here at the park. That and s'mores - yum - I haven't had s'mores in a long time. I'll take a couple of pictures and post them tomorrow.

Today is laundry day, gosh it seems like I just did it, sure comes around fast! Other than that, I don't think we will go anywhere. Dean is going to put up my Internet dish. The wifi here is good except when it storms (which has been every night) then Marti turns it off.

See ya later.... as always - pictures are posted at http://picasaweb.google.com/SchultzTravelPhotos
