Day 3 cont.

Last night, we stayed at a campsite outside of Roswell, NM and there were hardly any people around at this place. We had a secluded campsite around a pond and there was a small canyon wrapped around it. We had a great adventure here, from the bonding time to just experiencing the secluded wilderness. I sprained my thumb pretty badly today by tripping down the canyon, it swelled up to the point where it looked like I was borrowing Fat Albert's thumb; it is pretty painful too. We left our food outside and when we woke up, we discovered that it was all gone; raccoons got into it. I was pretty angered; they ate all of my beef jerky and all of the brownies (about 10), which were in a sealed container. Next stop, Carlsbad Caverns, NM.
