Swallows, swifts, and SMOKE!

We crossed from Arizona into New Mexico along I-40, with the Wallows wildfire to our south.  Beyond the spectacular views of cliffs and buttes, there was a haze of smoke.  Our campsite at Bluewater Lake State Park, west of Gallop, was not affected by the fire, but in the evening, there was quite an overcast which gave the sunset a weird color. 

Today we passed through Albuquerque and have stopped at Conchiti Lake, which has a campground run by US Army Corps of Engineers.  We had hoped to hike tomorrow at Tent Rocks National Monument, but they have imposed a ban on dogs in the park, so that's out.  Instead, we'll head for a day in Santa Fe (not too shabby!) and an overnight just east of the city.
