Square Knot Camp BLM

I found this boondocking spot on iOverlander - a very helpful site especially for quick overnight locations. Route 9 which goes east and west in southern New Mexico is a little traveled route with patchy BLM land and few dirt roads for easy access so scouted locations are appreciated. This spot has been named Square Knot Camp by the original poster after the knotted rope used to hold the gate closed but it will be forever known by us as Dead Horse Camp (although they may have been cows). 

We parked just inside the gate because vegetation has taken over the road, and then walked/rolled to the suggested boondocking spot where we found a slight depression and the bleached bones and stiff hides of several large animals. Not a pleasant camping spot so we were happy to stay close to Route 9 and enjoy a quiet night.  Camp 31.96322, -108.677
