Vacation In Billy The Kid Country?

My six-day camping trip this past week is now in the history books.

With gasoline prices rising again, it is hard to say where I'll be going next with the motorhome. Wherever that will be, it will likely be to a destination somewhat close to home. By close to home, I mean somewhere that only will take two gas tank fill-ups in total.

Here's the current Flying J gasoline prices:

Last year, it was to Durango, Silverton and Ridgway, Colorado and Navajo Lake in northern New Mexico along with a short trek to Monument Valley.

This year, I am kind of thinking of heading down south into Billy the Kid country in and around Lincoln County New Mexico. That seems interesting enough to me to take a trip there. Billy the Kid was shot by Pat Garrett at Fort Sumner in De Baca County on July 14, 1881. He is buried there. 

We'll see what transpires before making any vacation trip decisions.
