We gave a ride to a friend we made in camp up to the Ford dealer in Socorro. He needed to pick up his truck after having a hub fixed -- warranty repair -- and his truck is exactly like ours. So we are waiting until we get camped in Minnesota before we try our 4wheel drive system in case we have the same problem.
Since we were up that way we headed west of Socorro on Highway 60 about twenty miles to Water Canyon National Forest Campground. We had seen the sign for it on our way to the Very Large Arrey so this time we decided to check it out.
The picture with the fencing on both sides of the road is the way into the canyon and you can see a little snow at the very top of the mountains. The picture with the pretty cliffs is in the canyon itself. We didn't actually see any water in water canyon and the campground was closed for the "winter" mid November through mid March. The picture with the mountain rising out of the desert was taken on the way out of the canyon.
This past week has been the warmest since the first part of December. It was in the 70's and even 80 degrees one day and this coming week promises more of the same. They are saying the temps are above normal but we just say bring it on!
Everyday guys have been running down to the river to see if the walleye are running yet. Jim thinks this coming week is going to produce so we will be down there ourselves checking it out.

Wow! Time for the walleye run already ... and 80 degree temps! Sounds great! What will you use for bait to bring in those Southwestern Lunkers?
Your photos and stories are great ... I look forward to the weekly report!
