Earlier this past summer, I joined some friends for a horse camping trip at Valle Tio Vinces in the Gila National Forest of New Mexico.
We all convoyed down together, driving through the Very Large Array, west of Socorro, on the way there.
It was quite a long drive on paved roads, as well as the 10 mile Forest Service gravel road. The weather was hot, dry and sunny all the way, until we reached the campground, up in the mountains. There the temps were cool and comfortable, requiring jackets every evening.
I set up my own campsite beneath the tall ponderosa pine trees, including my portable corral for Apache.
I love camping with my horse and being able to eat near her and see her from my sleeping area inside my gooseneck.
The first night, everyone got together to enjoy a potluck dinner together.
Afterwards we gathered around a warm and cozy campfire for wine and conversation.
Tomorrow, we would ride the Gila!
