Heron Lake State Park, New Mexico – Day 18

As a holder of the New Mexico Annual Camping Permit (non-resident $225), I can stay up to three weeks in a park which I am currently doing here at Heron Lake.

In the day before yesterday’s Blog entry I mentioned that I had my best day physically since the May 27th accident. So much so, that I was able to climb down and back up the 600 feet to the Rio Chama and suspension bridge below. Two weeks ago because of my physical state I could only look down and take photos from the overlook and river below.

The locals tell me that New Mexico is in a several year-long drought and is clearly shown by the level of the water. The bridge was built by the Youth Conservation Corp in 1980.

Yesterday I showed photos during my descent, today I’ll show the river and suspension bridge…

Here are some of the photos that I took…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

Enjoying and photographing bridges is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
