Angel Fire, New Mexico

We continued to make our way back to Texas via New Mexico and the Angel Fire bike park we've heard so much about. It was fun, but I've been to funner. The very best part about Angel Fire is that you can camp literally at the base of the ski mountain for just $15 a night. We had the entire campground to ourselves for 2 nights. I wish we had water access because we could have really used showers. The day we got there we went white water rafting in the Arkansas, but somehow that didn't make me feel cleaner.

Shower time!

SBF put a rack on this van so we could have hot showers in privacy at the foresty campgrounds. It finally came in handy in Winter Park. I highly recommend the Zodi Instant Hot Shower. I've been using it for years. It even works if you drop the pump into a stream and hook the spout over a tree. The biggest obstacle is if you’re in a remote campground with no access to water. Then it’s hard to sacrifice drinking water for clean armpits. Luckily this campground had water. Our next one did not. Just stay a few steps back from us while we’re chatting.
