Chama NM

06/15 to 06/17

Four Corners and Shiprock on the way to ... Chama, NM.

The Four Corners has a huge parking lot, an unopened visitor area, and no dogs allowed.  Harumph.

The railroad in Chama is, of course, the ultimate destination.

Chama is delightfully cool and humid, being right next to the Rio Chama.  

The people working in and around Rio Chama RV park are kind and considerate.  Site 15.  The park is densely populated, though you are able to maintain a sense of solitude in MOST of the sites.  This is a water and electric site, $30/day.

They have a toilet and shower trailer: 2 showers, 2 (or was it 3) sinks, and 3 toilets in the women's side.  Very well maintained.  There's very little trash in the park and the Cottonwoods are shedding seeds like crazy!

We walk the dogs.  There IS a dog park on site, however, like MOST parks, the fencing is far too short for us to release the hounds!  A four foot fence is the lowest height upon which we will gamble, we prefer a five or six foot fence.

Mr SMT walks over to observe the train leaving and to wander around the yard (and to talk with Train employees).

We walk the dogs.

I do a band workout (I miss my weights!)

We walk down to the river to watch the train return.

We walk the dogs.

It rains both days. Ahhhhhhhhh.
