I know you have been dying to hear more vacation tales, so sorry I was busy doing gypsies work (scrub bleaching the camper clean...like all good gypsy wives do) and sitting in an eye clinic in the search for answers for my M.
We woke early, got packed up, hitched up and grabbed giant
warm donuts and coffee. This
complimentary donut and coffee thing isn’t hard to get use too.
We had a few goals in mind, and they had Roadside America
written all over them.
Roadside America stop one: Cadillac Ranch
Spray painting our mark on the cadillacs
We drove off the sound of Bruce Springsteen singing CadillacRanch to us.
Roadside America stop two: Historic Route 66 Midpoint

We drove off with the sound of Nat King Cole singing Route66 to us.
We can always manage to find just the right song for the
occasion, can’t we?
Then it was straight sailing down the highway.
We climbed in elevation through the Carson National
Forest. The highest point was over 9400 feet and the temperature dropped to 77*--the windows rolled down and the
mountain air whipped through our hair.
Finally we arrived at Rio Bravo Campground. It is a nice small first come first serve campground with only
four electric/water hook-ups. SCORE!
It sits along the Rio Grande. We took ourselves down to the river to cool off and catch a few mountain sun rays. The landscape surround is beautiful. We all agreed that we felt like the Native Americans should be sitting upon horses on the plateau nodding down to us. It is so fun to let yourself drift back in time and history when out in the mountains. My favorite place (better than the beach, in my opinion).
This was one of the few campgrounds on our trip that was still allowing campfires in the fire rings.
Let me add the campground host at Rio Bravo was extremely nice and knowledgeable about the area. He was laid back and talkative, so helpful to us. Bonus is he is a permanent camp host. He was in every sense of the work a host!
Tomorrow, new location, new Roadside America and adventures to be had.
