Cloudcroft to Ruidoso: Beautiful!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- We leave Oliver Lee Memorial State Park for the day and head up to Cloudcroft then Ruidoso, New Mexico. Camping in New Mexico in the Summer can be really hot, so it's nice to take a drive to the mountains which aren't far at all. 244 out of Cloudcroft is a nice road with lots of forest roads to explore. We ended up back at the Ruidoso dog park to let the dogs run around and we saw the wild horses again! #tab400 #campingwithdogs

Beautiful area, great info. Thanks, keep them coming.
Beautiful!. Very helpful.
Awesomeness!
Very nice!
Those little purple flowers are so pretty! 65 is perfect... ;-) Love that jay - he is so pretty! Gorgeous horses... And precious poodles! ;-) Nice share! 💙Terry and Terri
Thanks y’all!
@@poodleprofessor You are very welcome!
great area ! thank you for having a look. have a nice week and greetings from german sunday evening 🇺🇸👍🏻🇩🇪
Nice to hear from you! Hope you’re doing okay.
Beautiful just a beautiful place . Thank you for sharing aloha.
It really is! Thank you for watching. 💙
I lived and worked in Ruidoso; More than once a "Texan" would tell me "you live in heaven". I smiled as you commented heading back home to the flat lands., I could relate being considered a "Texan" for many years.
It really is pretty up there. If Texas wasn’t so big, taking 2 days to get out of it, I’d be in that area more often!
I'm going to have to check out cloudcroft next summer! I like your accent. We need more Southern voices on RUclips 👍
You definitely should! So many places to camp. Thanks for the compliment lol. I like yours too. Interesting how we can hear the subtle differences in them. I know I sound like a hick to some people, but I don’t care. 🤣👍🏼
Beautiful scenery for a day trip. Glad you got some relief from the heat. I would have a hard time going back to it as well.
Thanks for watching Shirley! It WAS very nice. Like you, I’m back in the heat, and now mosquitoes since we’ve had a little rain.
Such a pretty drive. I know how you feel leaving the mountains back into the heat. I guess that’s one of the things that draws us back to the mountains again and again.
Yes! It’s just so nice. The heat this summer in Texas was oppressive!
Thanks for the ride along. Enjoyed it very much. You will have to do like Rusty is doing, stay by the air conditioner until you can make another trip 😊👍
Thank you! Hopefully, it’ll start dropping a little bit here. Low 90’s is better than triple digits!
Thanks for sharing the pretty wild flowers and your travels!!! People drive way to fast on the interstates in my opinion. Bad wreaks on I -75 in Fl all the time !!!😬 Safe travels!!! 😁👍
Thank you Ralph! With the speed limit at 80 in Texas, it’s crazy!
I had not been to that area in NM until this mid April. Thoroughly enjoyed coming to and fro to Tuscon and around to Apache Junction. It is an experience to have the temp changes in such a small but diverse area in NM. Cloudcroft eating at Dave's was also a delight as well as camping at Oliver Lee. Good time in mid to late April temp wise. But with an overnight in Capitan it got down to low 20's. But trip was awesome.
I know I kept talking about the temps, but it was SO nice coming from 105 in Texas.
Would you say the dogs are more used to the camper since the beginning? And 65°, wow!
They’re definitely used to the camper now. When we get back from a hike or drive in the truck, they’re ready to get into the AC! Yes, the temperature was so nice!
At the time watching your video it’s 100 in the Black Hills SD, thanks for the ride along it was nice to see green grass. What’s the difference in fuel mileage driving empty and pulling the camper.👍👍
Oh man, I’ve heard it’s hot up there. I’ve read that pulling the camper you get about 10-11 mpg. I definitely notice the difference but I haven’t done the math. I just fill and go! Like Rusty says “don’t worry about what you cannot change.” 🤣
Nice ride … when school start back?
Thanks! It’s already started, so we’re back home. Already thinking about my next trip.
@@poodleprofessor great … I traded my 26.5’ Jayco 2017 in for a much smaller 19’ Jayco with no slide 2022 .. I’m hoping the tow’n is lots less stressful… as my age grows I haven’t enjoyed towing it … the old one was dual axle the new one single and is only 3000 lbs vs 6900 but lit less living space… we making plans to go back to NM after a short break in trip… pick it up Wednesday… teach up Professor
@@doingitwithnothing I think you’ll be a lot more comfortable towing that!
Have you thought about Alpine back to Del Rio and San Antonio via Hwy.90? I came back in middle of July to 110 degrees in North Texas. Why didn't I stay till Fall in Ft. Davis??? Cause I'm an idiot I guess🤣
Yes! I did that route last Fall while camping near Big Bend. I thought staying a little more north wouldn’t be so hot and I thought I might stop at Abilene SP. It was so dang hot, I pushed through to get home.
@@poodleprofessor Oh yeah, North Texas can really be an inferno. 🔥🔥 I'm N.W. of Ft. Worth, finally cooling off.
Wow, very beautiful place, Poodle Professor!! This Okie will be so glad for Summer 2022 to be done. It's been a long one. Can't wait for October and Fall. My favorite time of year. Some day, I'd love to see that part of New Mexico. The southeastern one-third of Oklahoma is also forested and hilly in the Ouachita Mtns. but still can easily be 100 deg. plus in the summer. New Mexico's got us beat!!!! You post the coolest videos! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the compliment! I knew we were in trouble when we hit triple digits in June! I’ve looked at Oklahoma for camping in the cooler temps. It’s beautiful up there.
Did ever get a chance to check out ( only in New Mexico )they had really nice road trips to see?
Yes! It’s the website onlyinyourstate.com?
@@poodleprofessor I know I’m going to be spending more time there, I jump around depending on temps. I notice your channel is growing so does that mean you can retire soon 😂 When Rusty was growing in the early years I use put him on auto ply like he said to do, Then do something else and come back and hit play again. Yours I been giving you the 👍to help out, I do like your videos and I think in time when you retire you could be rich, good luck just don’t up.

@@craigjohnson2771 thank you so much Craig! I really appreciate it.
Great video. After watching videos from both you and Rusty, I get a sense of familiarity with that area of New Mexico. I was following you along on my atlas. I definitely plan to visit the area. Thank you for taking the time to show us the dog parks. Traveling with my big German Shepard Girl, means stops to stretch her legs. My Baby Girl is a rescue with some anxiety, so I try to avoid noisy gas stations for walks. She likes the dog parks or walking in more natural settings. I'm looking forward to following you along on your travels. Take care.
Thank you so much! I get the same sense of familiarity when watching Rusty’s travels in New Mexico. I like it because it’s not TOO far for me to venture out of Texas to get to beautiful scenery. The dog parks are definitely nice for letting the dogs stretch their legs and explore. Plus, they’re not used to pooping while on a leash! Mine don’t like gas stations either. I stop at rest stops also for quick stops. When I’m
traveling through small towns, the courthouse square is also a nice grassy area to stop. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! 💙
Rusty very highly of you
