The Casamero Pueblo Ruins Prewitt,NM

We ( Walter/Judy the other camp hosts)  went out looking for Native American ruins. We found them they were just about 4 miles off the road. It is BLM Land (Bureau of land Management). It is called Casamero Pueblo Chaco Culture Archaeological site. It was very interesting to see how old they are and how they were built.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did taking them.

It's getting cold here at Bluewater State park

        It's getting very cold here at the park. Some morning's it is anywhere between 7-22 degrees ,just a little cold. I am still out walking the dogs at 6am every morning. I enjoy the sunrise over the mountains and the reflections on the water, its just breath taking. Here are some pictures from the past few days. We had a few "Wild horses" come to visit us at the park, too. They got up close and personal with us.Walter was helping me put insulation under the RV and then we saw the horses. Too cool. I hope you enjoy !!!!

The horses thought we had food for them

 

They said they are leaving since we had no food.

The horses didn't know what to do about the flag

Bluewater Lake State Park, Prewitt,NM

I am at my new home for the next few months. They have lots of places to walk and take pictures. There is a dam and the lake is very large. The lake is 7 miles long and has a surface of 2,350 acres. It is up to 65 feet deep .  The dam is 100 feet high and 500 feet long. The last time the water spilled over the dam was in 1941. I walked to the bottom of the dam today with Walter ( the other camp host). It was beautiful but you can see for yourself and make your on decisions.

This is part of the lake
