Camping trip 259, or the 2nd real camping trip in Rio Grande, was at Cathy Canyon. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. The weekend weather looked pretty darned good for in-between 2 rain events. Full story on my Corner.
A very cool part of swapping my truck out for Rio Grande the day or two prior to camping is that it becomes my vehicle! Meaning, I have to drive it to work. Unless I use my motorcycle, which ain’t happening during all this rainy weather. No sir. Head to my Corner and see my view at work plus some small mods we made already.
My Dad and I, and to some extent, my mother, always had a dark sense of humor. Mine probably dives a bit deeper than theirs, or at least more than they let on. In that vein, here’s a coming-of-age story on my Corner.
Dog Canyon Campground. The name itself instills a false sense of dread within me due to its similar name to a trail located at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park that winds up the mountains and takes you nearly up to Sunspot. A trail that took me a few times to make it up to the top – Dog Canyon Trail.
Excerpt: Our first real camping trip in Rio Grande was at Guadalupe Mountains National Park: Dog Canyon Campground. Over the long Labor Day weekend. No hookups. Is Rio Grande capable of boondocking? TLDR – yes! Full story on my Corner.
