Today we drove up to Rio Grande de Norte National Monument. Mostly a wilderness area with the Rio Grand River Gorge on one side. Beautiful views. We were very surprised at the number of campers up there. Mostly tenters and a few RVs.

We then drove over to the Rio Grand Gorge Bridge, the seond hghest bridge in the US and the middle span is over 300' long. This was a bust. The bridge was closed for some work. We had no idea how long it would be closed the traffic line was fairly long and the truck had a  boom over the side of the bridge blocking all traffic. We have to go this way tomorrow so we will have another try.
