Camping at Aguirre Spring Campround, Organ Mountains, NM - March 2024

The weather was blustery with occasional light rain as we headed out on our camping trip and
overcast skies persisted for the balance of the first day and into the night.
Fortunately, the second day was sunny with light winds. Several friends joined us that afternoon bringing our attendance from 7 people to 11 as we visited and enjoyed their company into the early evening around the campfire (propane firepit).
The weather on the third day of camping reverted back to cooler temperatures and high winds, forcing us to barricade ourselves under one of the canopies and installing tarps to block the wind so that we could have a fire.
The wind was quite gusty throughout the night and into the next day making it difficult to pack up our gear for a mid-morning departure.
That’s what winter camping is all about – enjoying nature while dealing with the elements.
