Wonderful breakfast place. Has several items to select from. The New Mexico omelette was big, fluffy and filled. Great service. The staff were so friendly.

Such a nice stretch of road for camping, few fences to keep you out, multiple pull-offs and some side roads to explore. Maintenance was good at all the arroyo crossings, no deep sand. Some small rocks on the road made it better for dual-sports than for the light cruisers we brought. With the dual sports we could have gone further into the landscape on the side roads that descended into old quarries or followed arroyos. The last 2 miles of road at the south end (off BLM land) had a little sand- stay away from the sides of the road!

We had not planned to stop by Ft. Craig, but we decided to based on Trip Advisor reviews. We were glad we did. It is off the interstate on an 8 mile dirt road. Very little is left standing, but there is enough to get a feel for its size. Ft. Craig had an interesting history of the civil war and the plains wars in the southwest.
