Sun, Nov 16: National Forest west of Springerville to Valley Of Fires in NM.
Camping to Valley of fires dump & water RESERVED #17 (reservation fee is $8 per night) $15.50 due to reservation fee!
We stopped at the Datil Well blm campground to check it out for another time. We have been by it many times. Not ready to stop yet today and have a reservations. New fees at Datil Well are $30 for electric (only in three sites and those were the three sites that were taken). $20 for no electric....so $10 for us. They did have a host and pit toilets and it appeared to be a well kept campground. However sites didn't seem to be that level...bring blocks. Did not see a dump station. It does have water and trash.
Saw a man pulling a shopping cart LOADED with stuff on route 60 just outside of datil well. This is a rural highway. How far could he possible make it in one day? 10Miles? 20 miles.
We stopped at walmart in socorro, NM, for a very small pick up order. Gas at Circle k $2.85...cheapest in awhile. It took us about 1 hour to get to Valley of Fires where our reservation awaited us so we arrived early afternoon. Dumped and took on water before going to our site. Glad we had made a reservation even if for one night and $8 extra because we got a spacious site even though it wasn't our first choice/no service site. I made dinner and David took Mali for a walk. GOATS heads here so I need to bring a tweezer with me. Mali dog was getting a couple at a time and one of us had to take one for the team to pull them out of her paws.
