Rattlesnake Springs picnic lunch with the Chili Chapter # 23 (New Mexico) of the Escapees RV Club. About a fifty-mile trip from The Ranch near Carlsbad Caverns. We caravanned down in twelve cars or pickup trucks for a nice picnic lunch with a special desert.

Chili Chapter # 23

Rattlesnake Springs is south of Carlsbad about thirty miles and the turn off to the park is only ten miles from the Texas state line (US 180). US 285 goes into Carlsbad from the northwest and US 180 goes into Carlsbad from the northeast. On the south side they split with US 285 going southeast  to Pecos, Texas and US 180 going south west to El Paso, Texas

We made basket ball ice cream, interesting.
