# 13 Leasburg Dam State Park


We all got to Leasburg Dam State Park on June 10. It was so hot that we didn't do much outside. We had to hang out with the two-leggeds a lot. 



The park is about 15 miles from Las Cruces, New Mexico. This is major farming country here. We drove through miles of pecan groves to get to our camp. There are a lot of chili growers around here, too. New Mexico is the largest chili producer in the country. 


We had seen pictures of people walking up to the dam but it
was roaring this time of the year for irrigation. 

The two-leggeds went into Las Cruces a couple of times but it was too hot for us to go. It was really too hot for them to go but we girls were out of treats so we said go ahead and go. Usually if they don't take us with them we will want to go out at about 4:00 a.m. We don't really like to get up either but we have to communicate and we think this is a good way. This time we let it go since they were getting treats.   

Another thing we really like is FRESH water. The pic up there reminded us of that.  We don't like beard-wash-residue in our water bowl which happens every time we get a drink. We buy spring water in jugs for all of our drinking water, since sometimes the water isn't the greatest at some campgrounds. Now Abby is really good at getting us fresh water. She has figured out how to get the water jug to flip over getting immediate attention. And we don't want that water bowl just rinsed. Nope. It has to be wiped to get any little speck removed from that bowl. Then we are happy. 

 We are getting off the subject but we thought in case you ever get to meet us, you'll want to know how to get water for us. 

This was our campsite with a neighbor visiting. You can see  us
in one of our favorite spots for watching what is going on. 

There was a really nice picnic area but it was too hot for anyone
to be there.



We saw some great sunsets.


We had a cute adobe shelter. This is looking out of one of
the openings. 


Now we are at Storrie Lake State Park right outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico. It's a little cooler here so we'll let you know what we're doing real soon. XOXO Roxy and Abby
