Weekend Trip to Serenity Off Grid

Gorgeous sky views here! It was tricky to find after dark, as the host warned us, and we took a wrong turn, but once we got straightened out it was easy to find, as it's in the literal middle of nowhere with nothing around.

Well-maintained and wide county road in, located just off I-40 and historic Route 66.

The pictures on the listing don't do this place justice. Beautiful location. I followed the GPS coordinates to find the spot and easily found my camp. This is the west and there are plants that will get you, so if you're tent camping, you better get there before sun down to clear a site. I was in the bed of my truck so had no worries. I'd recommend if you're traveling along the 40 and need a camp near Albuquerque.
