Goose lake 2 years later

[Richie]

This past weekend I took the wife with some friends and headed north for some camping. I was at Goose lake 2 years ago and you might remember I posted pics of that trip.
We had a blast. It was my wife's first camping trip and she absolutely loved it. By far my favorite camping in New Mexico. Enjoy the pics.

A view to the west overlooking the lake.

Me making some breakfast.

Feeding the locals.

It hailed a few times while we were up there.

I've never seen that side of NM. Beautiful! Love the beer selection, but what brand of propane skillet is that?

 

[Richie]

Old ruins along the road.

An old mine.

On the way out and back on the main road.

That's my kind of country. Would love to spend some time there in the future.

Random shots from the trip.

Snow, in New Mexico, at the end of July. Surprised me.

I couldn't tell you. It's my friend's skillet. It worked well though whatever it is.

You have to love Goose Lake! Most people don't know that NM has places like it. Keep it a secret! lol

In case you don't know I lived in NM for 40+ years and still have property by Mora, NM.

That's what I say all the time. Some beautiful places in NM that look more like Colorado, or might I say, Alaska. lol
There was recently a sign put on the main road in Red River pointing in the direction of the trailhead to the lake. There was no one else up there camping with us. But again everyday all day there were atv's and jeep's full of people that came up to the lake.

Nice trip and photos. That part of NM is really nice.

I noticed you can camp right near the lake. Is that still possible? Do they charge a vehicle fee for camping? Thanks for any info!!

 

[Richie]

I'd say the closest you're able to camp to the lake is at least 30 yards or so. During the day, a lot of folks come up for the views, hiking and fishing. A campsite just feet from the lake I'm sure would ruin the experience for most. No fees. There is one outhouse, but it's in horrible condition last I was there.

On a personal note, I'll be up there 3 weeks from tomorrow!

Richie I'll be looking forward to your trip report as I'm planning a trip out that way in about 4-6 weeks.

I'll try to remember to take enough pics for a full report. We'll be going up in the dark so good pics will be limited.
