The next day we reached Sugarite Canyon State Park in New Mexico. It's on the border of Colorado and the elevation is high enough that it is about 20 degrees cooler than West Texas. Now we're talking.Sugarite used to be a little mining town and there are lots of ruins and fun places to explore.
Hannah Beth looks a little unsure about hiking in her crocs.
Maryallie and Hannah Beth - BFF.
After hiking it was time to make supper. Allie is the greatest camp cook of all time.
Hannah Beth helps out. If you look closely right behind her, you can see the boys running amuck through the woods.
Meanwhile, Maryallie does one of the things she likes best.
After supper it's time for s'mores.
These two signs were posted on the park wash house. The next morning it was time to get back in the car and head for Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. But we found signs just like these on the wash house there too. I love camping out West!

So were there any wild beast sightings? If so lets hear about the epic battle!
The only carnivore sighting was the coyote who ran away from us. I guess he was afraid of 6-year-olds.
We saw elk, bighorn sheep, and plenty of mule deer.
There was also a squirrel who ran away with a slightly used peanutbutter sandwich.
Oh, and there is a herd of camels outside of Witchita Falls. I kid you not.
From your blogs and adventures you could write a series of children's books.
And the title would be - "A Coyote Ate My Six-Year-Old"?
I'd be more dramatic.
"Sugarite: The Death of A Child"
"Baby Boy, Its What's For Dinner!"
"Blood on the Ground."
"Coyote Ugly."
Or...
"The Silly Slaughter Of The Scott Spawn."
But A Coyote Ate My Six Year Is Kind of an Oprah Episode.
Sorry...=\
Then I need to watch more Oprah.
