May 30- Clayton, NM destination

Day 19 - Just a comment in passing. I am surprised in the variations in the taste of drinking water in different towns and cities we have camped in.  Most of the time it is not very good and sometimes it is downright undrinkable.  I am sure the water is safe and pure, but we travel with several gallons of bottled water just in case.  Springer and Clayton fit the category of undrinkable water.   We are thankful for Yellville's good drinking water.
Travel on this date was routine and very similar to yesterday.  We arrived at Clayton before lunch, a typical small town that has seen better times.  There were many boarded up businesses and they can't blame Wal-Mart, as there is not a Wal-Mart here or anyplace close by. We spent the night at a KOA campground only because there was no place else to stay.  This KOA lived up to their reputation of promising more than they deliver, very high fees, very run down sites.  KOA's are on the bottom list of all places to stay.  No pictures today.  God bless until next time.
