High of 69 and sunny.
Welcome to New Mexico, the land of enchantment, The first town was Texico, NM, We drove though Hereford, TX- the beef capital of the world. Then Bovina, TX-who names a town Bovina? The name comes from when it was called Bull Town-the worlds largest cattle shipping site. We went into Portales-Home of 17,000 friendly people and 3 or 4 old grouches, NM for dinner. We are now camped at Oasis Lake State Park outside of Clovis, NM.
The view from our campsite. Oasis Lake.
Picnic shelter at Oasis lake. In Portales Bill Dalley spent 30 years collecting windmills that he displayed in his yard. They are now at the County fair ground.
Beautiful Main St in Portales, NM. We had dinner at the Roosevelt Brewing Co. They had no IPA, so John had their Oktoberfest. They were out of Watermelon cider, or I would have had one.
John and I with the remains of our pizza. Yucca seed pods in sunset.

The bus is now camped at Bottomless Lakes State Park, New Mexico. Lea Lake, one of the 7 bottomless lakes. They are sink holes or cenotes full of artesian well water. Lea Lake is 90feet deep. It the only one of the bottomless lakes where swimming is allowed. People scuba dive here too.
