Lee
and Karen Duquette, They photographed murals and visited
Conchas Lake |
Karen Duquette photographed murals in Tucumcari, New Mexico. There were 25+ murals (some were doubles) but some were located inside businesses that were closed for the day, and some had cars parked in front of them, and a few just could not be found by The Two RV Gypsies on this date. But Karen Duquette photographed as many as she could. |

A female was sitting in her parked car right in front of the mural shown below. She stared at Karen Duquette as Karen got out of her truck and struggled to photograph part of the mural without photographing her and her car. So Karen was not able to get the entire mural in the photo. Some people are just plain rude. |

Lee and Karen Duquette took a ride to Conchas Lake State Park |
|
Conchas Lake is a 25-mile long reservoir in northeastern New Mexico, behind Conchas Dam on the Canadian River. The lake has an elevation of 4,200 feet and a surface area of 9,600 acres.Conchas Dam was completed in 1939 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. |

Conchas Lake is beautiful, but Lee and Karen Duquette did not realize that although it IS A STATE PARK, it was only for boaters and campers. There was a very limited area to drive or walk around to take photographs. The tourist brochures advertise coves, canyons, sandy beaches, petroglyphs, and ancient rock formations here. But the Two RV Gypsies did NOT see any of those things. |
