Day 26 - How close to home will we get?

Trying to find the quickest route back to Boling. MapQuest says one way, the "lady in the box" says to go to Albuquerque to El Paso and take I-10.  We opted for the MapQuest route - Albuquerque, Cline's Corner, Carlsbad, then to I-10.  And what can I say......there's not much excitement on this route!  Have traveled it many times in the past.

We decided to stop for the night at Brantley Lake State Park outside of Carlsbad.  It was 445 miles from Farmington.  We went biking down to the lake and even took a short swim. There was a strong wind from a thunderstorm which made the cool water feel a little colder.  Enjoyed an awesome sunset over the mountain and a really good grilled sirloin. This is a nice park for being in the middle of nowhere New Mexico!

Good night!
