Sumner Lake St Pk, eastern New Mexico 4/6-4/7

Sumner Lake. Coots swimming.....


Woven nest in blooming tree. Looking at birds.


Arm of lake. Amazing sandstone sculptures. Cholla "fruit."

Another fine stop outside of Ft. Sumner, NM. The Pecos River was dammed in 1937 to form this large lake. We rode our bikes from one side to the other over the dam - not a long ride, but we can't seem to find any flat ground. Lots of cactus. Big winds are plaguing us (up to 60 mph!!) and drying our skin and eyes, tho we do enjoy being in the high plains (4000').
