I’m then in New Mexico where I visited two sites even I had very few time to hit the road to the Baja.

The first one is a small State Park called City of the Rocks. an area of about one mile long by half a mile large where hundreds of eroded rocks make pinacles where it’s allowed to camp. I arrived at Sunset end enjoyed the last rays of light…

1. On the road, just before arriving at City of the Rocks.

2. Sunset on the pinacles…

3. … and sunrise the next morning.

4. A real labyrinth!

5. First light on dry grass.

6. Where VivaLaVida camped.

7. California quail, spectacular but not easy to approach.

I then went to a site where about 800 years aga, indians used to live in cliff houses.

8. Short stop in the charming town of Silver City

9. Arrival on the site of Gila Cliff Dwellings.

10. Bowl created by crushing of grains.

11. Wall were partially closing the overhangs…

12. … to create rooms…

13. … sometimes really high in the cliff.

14. Another view of the interior.

15. It’s one of the largest sites of cliff houses with le Mesa Verde National Park.

16. I slept a few tens of miles away in a beautiful mountain pine forest at nearly 6,000 feets above sea level.

Thats’s it for today. There will still be an update on my road crossing Arizona before offering you the story of our trip to Baja… 😀
