9. Bottomless Lakes State Park

We've been at Bottomless Lakes for about a week and we love it here. New Mexico has beautiful state parks and, as I mentioned in the o.p., it is unbelievably cheap to stay here. It's amazing to me that one of the prettiest campsites I have ever been in is only costing us four bucks a night. (Well, actually more because we paid for the annual park pass but it still averages out to be really cheap.) Thank you, New Mexico!

I have some pictures from the park on my blog if anyone wants to check it out. http://postcardsfrompamandlarry.blogspot.com/. We're near Roswell so I should have some UFO related pictures up soon. We did a couple of short hikes today around the other lakes and I'll be doing a blog post about that soon, too.

We're heading north from here, probably to Sumner Lake or Santa Rosa, so keep the travel tips coming if you have them. I really appreciate the ones we've gotten so far. It really helps to have input from people who live here. Drop me a note and come by for a cookout if you're in the area!
