We had plans to go to Fenton State Park, but a hot shower and electric called our name. Fenton has neither so we decided to go to Coyote Creek. We usually stay just up the road, but with a state park pass making a night at the park with electricity $4 it was a no brainer. We stayed at the park. First night the good sites were taken so we took one in the line. 
I enjoy a cauliflower crust pizza made in our electric pizza maker. It was yummy. Even dh agreed the crust was good.
Next morning we grabbed one of the first come
First serve sites. It also had electric, but was a much nicer spot. Surrounded by trees, bushes and birds. 
Dh caught his limit on trout in the stream below camp. Then we took one of our favorite drives.
If you are tracking on a map head up the canyon towards Angel Fire. It is a paved narrow highway up the canyon to the top. Once on top you get the option of left to Angel Fire or right to .... well eventually Wagon Mound. Bet you can’t guess which way we went? It is paved for a ways. Then it comes off the mountain as a dirt toad. Not a bad road, narrow at times lots of switchbacks. We hit pavement and kept going. Saw lots and lots of pronghorns. I didn’t take pictures because I was going to get them down another road.
We took the road off the interstate to Ft Union.
Not because we wanted to visit the fort. Been there done that. It is worth a visit or two. We like the drive and use to have friends that worked on the ranch and lived in the ranch house near the fort. There were few pronghorn finally found this guy
We came back across the backroads to Mora, but all pavement! Then back up to the State park.
When we left yesterday morning I took this picture below Mora heading out. There was a field full of Canadian geese. These took off and flew beside us for a long ways.
