Bottomless lake State Park



We enjoyed this campground so much we decided to stay an extra night.  This is the first time we have stayed at the same campground 2 nights in a row.  We have really enjoyed being able to relax and the kids enjoyed swimming in the lake.  Dave also was very happy to wash the motorhome for the first time, and even happier that each of the boys helped and had fun helping. We also tried fishing, but the park ranger (who was very nice) informed us that there is an endangered fish in this lake that can only be found in two lakes in the world.  This being one, so fishing here is a no-no! This lake is 90 ft deep at the natural underground spring that supplies the water for the lake and nearby river. That was my one small piece if history for the day.  I forgot to mention that a black widow almost landed on my face yesterday as I was looking in the electrical box which turned out to be her home.  
Peyton enjoyed the playground and we all enjoyed the nice hot showers.  
Tip of the day:  built a sandcastle, throw a football and play on the playground! Dave and I usually watch our kids do these things, but we have decided to join in.  We were surprised at how fun it was and how much my kids enjoyed having us play with them.

I thought bottomless lake had great trout fishing? That area also has pecos diamonds. Take a hike and find some.

Hi,Sterling!Happy(late) birthday!!!How you doing? Tell me more about your trip to Roswell. I think it is interesting and the clown alien you told me about on the phone sounds kinda weird. Please send me a picture of the clown alien. Your mom has our email. Say hi to Tanner for me (and Peyton)please.
We miss all of you - see you this summer.
