Gallup, NM

Today we move to Red Rock Park.  It used to be a NM state park, but is now run by the city of Gallup.  

The drive out of Cortez / Towaoc area was pretty.  We kept seeing huge lone rock formations. See the following 6 pictures.

This is the only one I know the name of.  It is Shiprock.

After the rock formations stopped it was a blah trip into Gallup.

We arrived at Red Rock Park and were told to pick a spot and the park ranger would be by in the evening to collect.
The park is laid our very confusingly.  We drove around in the Jeep and picked a spot.

The site we chose was mostly level, which most were not.  We have electric and water.  There is a dump, but we are staying only 1 night.

There is a large red rock formation around the park.  See the pictures below.

There were only about 5 or 6 other RVs in the park when we arrived about noon.  You cannot see any of them in this picture.  As the day wore on, about 8 other RVs arrived. 

Just before sunset, this big Prevost pulled in and parked just in front of us.

There were lots of prairie dogs running all over the place.  This one stopped to nibble on some weeds just in front of our coach.

Tomorrow we head to Albuquerque.
