Santa Rosa Lake, NM

Whales, seals and a paddle in the surf
Santa Rosa is inland from the beach and we thought we should check out some of the things in the 101 things to do in Somona County booklet available at our hotel. First it was breakfast - I know the hotel is cheap and the breakfast is complimentary but it ...
