I turned South on US Hwy 84 in Colorado. In New Mexico on US Hwy 84, I made a stop to see some wooden Historic Markers. I turned East on Carson N Forest road 115. (Driving the highway at the speed limit you would never see the sign for FS 115.)
Driving FS 115 for three miles I turned NE at FS 110 at the Town of Canjilon. Driving on the bumpy FS 110 through the forest service (and some private land) about eight miles when I reached FS 129, a paved road up to Canjilon Lakes. There are a few legal dispersed camps uphill, before reaching the recreational area. At the Canjilon Lakes Recreational Area camping is restricted to two nice pay camp grounds, at the lower lakes. (Most of the few people I see at the Canjilon Lakes are fisherman.) I was disappointed to see that the very large aspen trees were gone, with new younger aspen trees growing there. It was a local fisherman I met that told me about an insect infection that killed off the mature aspen trees. (Ratz!) I did visit and enjoy the three Canjilon Lakes.
I drove back to FS 110
and would look for a new dispersed camp spot to the East.
