Primitive Campsites with a pit toilet. It was very quiet last night as there were no other people here at all. The skies were beautiful though. I think I saw every star until that brilliant moon rose. Glorious.
Nice primitive campground right off the highway. For historical reference, this used to be the site for the old Luna New Mexico Barter Faire.
