Camped at Site 9

As you can see in this picture, Site 11, where I camped in January 2009, has a really nice view looking northwest out across the Rio Grande. That's my favorite site with hookups. Site 9, where I am now, is just off to the right of this picture and has an even better view. We like it here.

Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
