Elephant Butte State Park

We made a move this morning to Elephant Butte State Park. This park is New Mexico's largest and most popular, I'm sure the reason is the water that is here. There is very little water in this state so this is a major draw. Elephant Butte Lake is a reservoir along the Rio Grande river. The park has a marina, boat landing, shore line camping and four large campgrounds with electric and water hookups. We managed to get a spot high on a hill with a great overlook.

The weather for the next couple days sounds terrible (for here) highs only in the 60's lows in the 30's and wind gusts to 50-60 miles per hour. We are regretting now that we didn't head for Arizona last week instead we are now thinking of heading that way next week.

Today being Friday meant laundry day so once we set up camp we set out to find a laundromat. We found one right outside the park at a beautiful RV Resort. After laundry we took along walk and had our supper. Right now the winds are still but they are suppose to start again later this evening and last through the day tomorrow.

Another plus to this park is that it has wifi and so far it has been very fast.
