Yesterday, I took a Jeep drive up through Six Mile Canyon to McGaffey Lake Recreational Area.
The lake was very low due to the drought. It was more like a mudhole. There were some people along the lake's edge. It looked like they were fishing, or trying to.
From there I drove along New Mexico Highway 400 towards the national forest campgrounds and, eventually, Interstate 40.
In Fort Wingate, I stopped at the Veterans Park and snapped some photos, including a historical marker sign. From there, I drove on to Historical Route 66 that parallels Interstate 40. At Iyanbito, I got onto the Interstate as Route 66 ended there and drove it to Jamestown.
All in all, it was an enjoyable drive. Some photos below.
