Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

While this episode includes more driving footage, I hope viewers will find it interesting. Most of today was spent unwinding from the recent cross country trip to New Mexico. Grocery shopping and an oil change were the big to-do’s today. But while I waited for my appointment at the local Nissan dealership I decided to take the opportunity to visit the Organ Mountains.

Today I drove to Aguirre Springs Campground. How did I learn about this out of the way spot? Simple. Last year I’d picked up, “Adventures on America’s Public Lands.” It’s a wonderful guide book from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management. Many spots not listed anywhere else can be found in this book, including a few sites in the Organ Mountains.

Entering the area I noticed one sign that I’ll pass along to all visitors. The sign recomended not coming in with anything longer than a 23 foot trailer. After driving into the camping area, and seeing the sharp turns first hand, I completely agree with the sign!

I’m also looking forward to visiting Dripping Springs in the same area, and the White Sands National Monument. So be sure to check back for those podcasts. So far I’m enjoying the Las Cruces area. It has a good deal to offer.
