Lincoln National Forest

Last weekend we took a day trip to the area where Kit's family has been camping and hunting for years. He's always wanted to take me up there, so we packed a KFC lunch and hit the road. It is such a beautiful area (Guadalupe Mountains) and is only an hour from Carlsbad. I can't believe I've never been to that part of it before. We went with Kit's dad, step mom, and his sister and had a good time admiring the scenery, watching some local wildlife (deer, turkeys, and the occasional cow), and listening to Kit and his dad reminisce about past hunting trips. We're planning to take a camping trip up there in a couple months and the guys are going to enter the hunting draft for the fall. If you're ever in SE New Mexico, don't be fooled by the miles and miles of flat dessert. We have a lot of beautiful places off the beaten path. They don't call it "The land of enchantment" for nothing!
