October 7-13, 2007: Heron Lake State Park, nothern New Mexico

Home sweet home for the week.

Looking north-ish along the shore.

We were just a stone's throw away from the boat ramp and dock.

Looking northeast across the lake, with a small island in the middle distance.

Ugh, the sacrifices we make...

A nearby hiking trail offers a diversion from the lake view.

Stairs descent to the bottom of the gorge...

...where a funky swinging bridge allows access to the opposite side of Rio Chama.

A view of the earthen dam and sluiceway.

Mushroom mushroom!

Rio Chama.

Another view of the stairs. Building these must have been fun!

We wondered how many cars had to be pulled from the lake before this sign was erected.
