Deerhead Campground, Cloudcroft

Things feel different today. Not sure why. Is it because I don't have a deadline or specific agenda? There's not much to do here except hike or relax. Hiking with just me and Jay is nice but I guess I am missing human companionship. If I had my paints I would have time to just hang out and paint.

Jay and I did take a hike but at over 8000 ft elevation, I had to take frequent breaks especially on the uphill sections. The photo with the 'wreckage' is of an old wooden train trellis. The views were pretty impressive. One could see White Sands in the distance though the photo doesn't show it too well.

The quiet at the campground is almost too much. It would be nice to hook up with a caravan once in a while. And nice to have someone else plan a bit. I think I will go to the Guadalupe Mountains tomorrow. Might be the last stop before Austin.Read more
