I went to visit my friend Ruth a couple weeks ago (she lives about 45 minutes from me) to see where she lives and hang out for a bit. I headed over to lunch at her house and then her family wanted to go to the river to swim. So we headed over to the River Mogollon to a little dam that they have. It apparently is a common make out spot judging from the number of couples that were there making out when we showed up. The dam is kind of cool and there were a bunch of little fish jumping up it. A couple of guys came by with their teams of oxen. We tried out the underwater setting on my camera. We slid down the damn into the water. It was great. Then later on that night, her host brother and his friends took us out in San Juan. We just hung out and chatted but it was fun to be out in the city for a night. The campo is a generally very mellow place to live so it's fun to go out and do something a little more exciting every now and again.

Climbing up the dam was the scary part. It wasn't very tall, but it was slippery and really there were just little grooves where you had to try to get your footing.
