* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of north central, northwest, and west central New Mexico, including the following areas, in north central New Mexico, Far Northwest Highlands, Jemez Mountains, Northwest Highlands and Tusas Mountains Including Chama. In northwest New Mexico, Chuska Mountains and Northwest Plateau. In west central New Mexico, San Francisco River Valley, Southwest Mountains, West Central Highlands, West Central Mountains and West Central Plateau. * WHEN...From late tonight through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Another round of widespread rainfall is expected Sunday into Monday with rainfall amounts generally between 1 and 2 inches near and west of the Continental Divide, except near 3 inches in favored upslope regions of the Tusas Mountains near Chama. This rainfall will occur over very saturated soils which will increase runoff. These are also areas that are still recovering from the last flood event. River rises are likely, but rises are not expected to be as high as the last flood event. If river flooding materializes, it will likely continue into Monday evening. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Ojo Redondo Campground is a free, primitive camping destination in the Zuni Mountains of Cibola National Forest, positioned southwest of Mt. Sedgwick, the highest peak in the range. At 8,900 feet elevation, the campground sits among ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and aspen trees with a scenic meadow adjacent to the camping area. The campground offers dispersed-style camping with basic amenities. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill for cooking. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water or trash service, so campers must bring adequate water and pack out all refuse. Access requires travel on forest roads that can be affected by weather conditions. The campground serves as a base for hiking and mountain biking in the Zuni Mountains. The high elevation provides cool summer temperatures but can see early season snow.
Directions
Take Exit 53 at Thoreau and drive south on NM State Highway 612 past Bluewater Lake. The road becomes FR178 at the Forest boundary. Continue south on FR178 for 8 miles to the junction with FR480. Turn east (left) and drive two miles to the campground entrance on the right.
