Great information. Do you know what the driving conditions are like for a motorhome into those two parks? I've heard mixed things about the route to Villanueva-a few people said there were steep grades and drop offs.

I just checked Villanueva on the New Mexico state park website and they don't have many available spaces this week so I think we're going to go to Storrie first and then try Villanueva next. We haven't been in a town with a decent grocery store for over a month so we're running low on some essentials. We've been to Las Vegas before and it was a pretty nice town so we were planning to try Storrie soon. That's the only downside to this lifestyle. We try to stay in the really beautiful, out of the way places but, occasionally, we need to get back into civilization for a week or two to take care of laundry and groceries and mail.

Thanks again for the tips. It sounds like Manzano might be nice when we come back this Fall.
