More Rain Coming

The past week and weekend saw New Mexico get lots of monsoon rain. This was helpful in putting out wildfires that raged in some areas of the state.

Some areas got too much rain and suffered with flooding. The hills over Grants had some waterfalls form.

In Jamestown (were I live), we got around an inch of rain (maybe more). The ground is currently saturated.

When I drove the motorhome in Barking Spider Acre to put it into the garage, I noticed the ground being soft and muddy. At times, I thought it would get stuck. Luckily it didn't. 

We're to get more rain this week.
