Dinosaur eggs, Bisti Bandlands

Before we left for this weekend I planned a route using my Garmin taking back roads from Chaco to Bisti.  Looking at the roads with Google earth I felt pretty confident we would make it to our destination with no problems.  The washboard road was in prime condition causing us to fishtail if we did anything over 15 mph.  Five miles into the trip we spotted the turn off to one of the county roads, the shortcut – except - there was a locked gate across the road next to what looked like a house that hadn’t been used in a while…  So much for the shortcut.

Chaco Canyon, early May 2018

We were enchanted with our visit to Chaco Canyon last year, Nicida and I decided to make another trip catching at least some of the sites we did not see.  Most of the campsites are reservable, I highly suggest you make reservations.  Each afternoon/evening we saw several campers arrive at the Gallo campground to a ‘Campground full’ sign greeting them.  Kind of tough considering it’s a 15+ mile drive on gravel roads enroute to the Chaco site.
