This park is in eastern NM. The town is Portales and we are not too far from Clovis. There is a small lake in the park that at one time was filled by a seep. The water table has been lowered by ag irrigation so the seep is no longer there. Consequently, the park keeps the lake full by pumping well water into it. A sad development. One funny thing happened this morning. We drove up to the dump station and got in line. The 2 people ahead of us were ready to leave and our arrival prompted them to drive off. As they left the dump station a guy ran out of the men's room and started yelling and waving his arms as he ran after them. He disappeared around the corner. He soon came back feeling dejected and asked to use my phone. His ride eventually returned but Jenny and I had a good laugh. We are here all day tomorrow. There are a few trails to hike but afternoon temps have been gross.
Hot here too. Finally got .8 inches of rain last night. Hope that greens up pastures. Stay cool
