Then to Silver City, where we discovered Manzano's, a most hospitable RV park we'll surely return to. While in Silver City, we did day trips, enjoying the fall colors along the Gila River, to Glenwood for a hike on the famed Catwalk, and into the Gila National Forest and a hike on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. We'll go back to Silver City. It's a great place to explore further.
Next, it was south to City of Rocks State Park where soon after we set up and were out for a walk, a rapidly approaching ominous storm forced us back to the RV. Warm and dry inside, the noise from hail became deafening and the storm's intensity alarming, as rivers of water and hail flowed swiftly around and under the RV. Fortunately, it didn't last long. After about 15 minutes, the ground was white with dime-size hail and the sky nearly black where the storm was headed. It was eerily beautiful and the sunset soon after was absolutely spectacular.
We returned to Monticello Point for a couple more days, to ride our bikes and enjoy the serenity of fall at Elephant Butte Lake. There are lots of birds on the water and cranes migrating overhead. We sure enjoy the roadrunner who visits almost every time we're here. It was another great trip on the Thibeau trail.
