We drove up to Fenton Lake State Park, wanting to spend some time paddling and perhaps hiking on the short trails there. When we arrived, access to the day-use area won't open until May 1 so we drove to the camping entrance. We were less than whelmed, it is a small man-made lake and the hillside above it hasn't recovered from a fire so we headed back.
We stopped at the San Antonio Campground (again not open) but we parked at the entrance and decided to take a walk along the creek. Enjoyed hearing/seeing three stellar jays, did a set of tai chi (rather poorly as the ground was uneven and we had to go back and do a section we forgot) and then forage for rose hips.
Once back in town we stopped at the Jemez Historic Site with museum and ruins of the Gisewatowa Pueblo and the remains of the San José de los Jemez Mission that Spanish Franciscan priest forced the People to construct atop the original settlement and sacred grounds.
