Posted on Mon, 22-Feb-2021Fri, 05-Mar-20214/5: Datil Wells/El Malpais We blew across the plains while enjoying fun cloud formations. Very Large Array had a road stop spot to get a photograph. Datil Wells was one of 25 watering sites on a cattle drive route across New Mexico. A very pleasant 3 mile nature loop had enough snow that finding the trail was challenging. Reward was fabulous views that were worth the effort. We found one of the hidden rocks a Farmington group was doing – it made us smile. Such a small spec on the big landscape of El Malpais NM , Joe Skeen BLM Campground. The Lava Falls trail was similar to Valley of Fire. Grants and Mt Taylor in the background of our campsite. Enjoying another outdoor happy hour – our first of hopefully many in 2021. Official twenty-fifth year celebration.
