Bullock's Oriole, Caballo Lake State Park, Caballo NM, May 1, 2012
That's it, I'm outa here.
My three weeks is up here at Caballo Lake State Park and I have to move on. I'm only allowed three weeks at a time in a given park.
May is marching on and it's time to head east if I want to get back to Red Rock and off the road before Memorial Day so I might as well head out. Of course I'm headed north a bit first (can you feel my eastbound feet dragging?)to get my periodic fix at the Apple store in Albuquerque before actually turning east.
