On the way we stopped at Valley of Fires BLM area. They have an interpretive loop that is really nice and an easy walk. It was a bit windy and cold today, but still a pleasant walk. The people at the visitors center were friendly and knowlegble. They mentioned that the road from there to San Antonio, NM, is sometimes closed for bombing practice. On that same road they have a sign that states "Warning Dust Storm 2 miles". We asked about eating places along the way and they told us about Buck Horn, just past the Owl.
Arriving at San Antonio, NM we decided to go straight to the Wildlife Refuge and check out the visitor center. They gave us plenty of information, just like everyone else. We asked about food and they told us to go to the Buck Horn.

We dropped the Casita at Bosque Bird Watcher’s RV Park owned by Jackie and Billy Trujillo. It is just out side of the refuge and only $20 a night. We have full hook-up here. The nearest State Park would make it a 100 miles round trip. Well worth the money and time
We went to the Buck Horn. We ordered the famous chili cheese burger. It was good and it was large. I managed to eat it all and so did Jerry. It is a regular hamburger grilled and seasoned with salt and pepper, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, pickle and chili. I recommend it.
After eating we went back to Bosque Del Apache and drove the wildlife drive. We needed to get a feel for the park and also figure where we wanted to be when the birds came in and left. Where the sun set and where it would rise. We would get wind directions from the weather reports. Seems like it might be cloudy for the days we plan on being here. We will see.
