Soggy New Mexico?



 This is crazy!  The last three days we were in Las Cruces it rained every day.  This is our campsite with a lake around it.
 The view from the front of the breeze.  New Mexico is not much on worrying about drainage.  Most folks in New Mexico( except the farmers) wanted rain but now- enough already!

 It was still raining when we pulled out yesterday.  It rained on us for the first 100 miles of the 225 mile journey to Albuquerque.
It was actually pretty amazing to see all the arroyo's running full steam.  I was too shocked to get pictures.  However, the Albuquerque Journal got some good ones.

  It rained again last night in Albuquerque.  We are a little muddy but not in a lake. We are on a little bit of a hill- which is a good thing. Today we are going to see our niece's new house.  It is under construction.  We will be here until Wednesday.  Hopefully, we will not need a boat to get out :).

    We're finally getting some rain here in Minnesota too. On my day off, of course. :(

    Rain in New Mexico! I thought I'd read your title wrong. Farmers don't want rain? Well you all could always go swimming!

    Hope you don't have to pull out the kayak! That flooding is horrible in CO. Hope it doesn't get that bad in NM! Stay safe!

    Strange for New Mexico indeed. I've been to NM on 4 or 5 occasions and I don't think I've ever even seen a cloud.

    Wow, that's a lot of water in those photos from the paper. Hope you stay high and dry.
