Well, yesterday was a lot of driving again.  Destination:  Brantley Lake State Park

Its located in the Chihuahuan Desert region of southeastern New Mexico.  A large dam across the Pecos River creates Brantley Lake.  Its a good size and people fish and boat.  Its a lake in the middle of the dessert.  No trees to speak of, bamboo-like bushes grow along the edge of the water.  The locals hang out at a pull-off along the river where the water from the river goes under the road through several large culverts.  Some of the daring boys surf and slide through the tunnels.

Was a beautiful sunset - thunderstorms were off in the distance and the setting sun made really cool colors in the clouds.
