If you have not yet finalized your plans for the Lobor Day Weekend...don't worry there is a lot to do across the Land of Enchantment. Are you into boating, Camping, Water Skiing, Fishing, Mountain Climbing, Visiting monuments, this is the time of the year to spend sometime outdoors. For those who are living in the Metro Areas I would suggest a road trip.

For this Labor Day Weekend my recommended destination of choice is Elephant Butte. There is so much to do there; and yes thousands of people will be there having a good time. Just a few reminders as you enjoy the weekend:

1. Do not forget your Sunscreen (USE IT)

2. If you plan to consume alcohol, be responsible. The DUI Laws apply when you are boating.

3. Always wear your Life Vest when you are on the lake

4. Do not over exert yourself.

5. Be Courteous to everyone...

HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Folks who are not familiar with New Mexico often think "desert" and picture an area full of nothing but sand dunes and cactus. Couldn't be further frorm the truth! In addition to our lush, green river valley areas and pine-covered "Rocky Mountain Highs," we've even got lakes. Pretty big lakes. For boating and watere skiing and fishing...

Recently, my extended family spent a long weekend at one of our nearby lakes, Elephant Butte. Just an hour and a half drive south from our home in Bosque Farms, we enjoyed getting out on the jet skis, boating, water skiing, inner tubing, making sand castles, and even cliff diving (OK, I opted out of that one, but my sister and a large number of the younger generation parrticipated!)

Check out some of the pictures, and forever after picture our Land of Enchantment as a great place for water sports, too
