Nov 7, 2012 - Portales NM - Oasis Campground

Our first "desert" campground! Spent several days here at the Oasis campground, enjoying the warm weather. Only one draw back - biting flies! So, when Conde Nast named Charleston SC people's top choice for a vacation destination, they must have also name Oasis State Campground in New Mexico as the number one choice of biting flies! Still, the weather was great, so it was nice to be outside, if you didn't mind a few bug bites.
