Is that Aguirre Spring campground you are referring to? Good that you thought of that. A visitor really should get a view of the Organ Mountains, too. As I recall, it's not free to camp there, but was very reasonable.
I'm technically an NMSU employee too, (though the funding comes from a consortium).
Congrats on retirement, Barko. I can hardly wait for the "rule of 75" to kick in for me, so I can do more wandering too.

Now, just roaming around in a stock Land Cruiser (not stock for long though... bawahahha [evil laugh])

We're planning a trip to southern NM the last week in March, weather permitting. Thinking about this Aguilla place and also City of Rocks. If you see me, say hello.
I'm thinking of hitting the city of rocks about that time.

If I can't get away, and if you want to wander over to the Sacramento mountains, I'll give you a tour of Apache Point Observatory.

What is that closest to? I want to check it out on the map.

You can Google Apache Point Observatory to get a map.

highz-I thought the observatory was closed in winter? Do you work there? And is your avatar a pic of City of Rocks?
I know northern NM is hurting for snow right now, I imagine your area is too huh?

Yes, my avatar is at City of Rocks.
Snow - I think I remember what that looks like. I had my X-C skis out three times this winter, and that's all. The forest service sign says the fire danger is already high. It's going to be a scary fire season if we don't get some rain. If we don't, the Lincoln NF will probably have to close until the monsoon hits. The last time the LNF closed it was from May - July, so a March/April trip should be okay.
I thought the snowpack up north was good this year. Not so?
