El Morro National Monument

While we were camped at the Joe Skeen campground, we visited El Morro, which is also located in western New Mexico and served as a stopping place for travelers through an arid and desolate region. Many of the travelers left signatures in the walls of the sandstone cliffs. There is a small pool of water at the base of the sandstone cliffs that served as an oasis for many travelers.

El Malpais National Monument - Joe Skeen Campground

Great dry camping site in western New Mexico. After World War II, the Bureau of Land Management became the administrator of the area. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan designated El Maloais a unit of the National Park Service. It is jointly managed with the nearby El Morro National Monument.

Wichita Falls - Texas

We enjoyed a brief stay at the city campground in Wichita Falls, Texas. Site #20. Electrical hookups, water, and a dump station are available for a reasonable price. We walked to Jason's Deli for dinner. The river that runs next to the park was extremely high.

Pretty much had the park to ourselves
