July 26, 2013 From Las Vegas, New Mexico to the SKP Park in Lakewood, New Mexico

July 26, 2013   Escapees Co-Op Park  -  "The Ranch"

Arrived about 1:30 p.m. and was greeted by two residents...wow...this is a friendly park. 

The Ranch is in a high desert setting amid agricultural operations, near the foothills of the Guadalupe Mountains.  Situated about 22 miles north of Carlsbad and 16 miles south of Artesia.  The Ranch is located in Lakewood, New Mexico.  It is actually in the middle of a 6,000 acre cattle ranch in southern New Mexico. 

We are looking forward to seeing the sights in this area. 
all set up in site #55...just enjoying the day.

July 25 we stopped at an Elk's Lodge in Las Vegas, New Mexico.  Bob joined the Elks Club while in Gillette, Wyoming at the Escapee's Escapade.  Found out Elk's Lodges have RV camping, checked this one out and yes they have a few sites....okay, that will work....we will take one of those sites.  Got in the middle of a pool tournament, hey they are serious about that game.  Played the pull tables and missed it by one number....darn the luck...to date I have won one spatula and a camera.  The prize was a couple bottles of beer, some beer pretzels and other snacks.  Oh, well, better luck next time.

Oh the drive the last couple of days was just spectacular. 

 The above pictures were taken in New Mexico.  Didn't realize this state was so beautiful.
