First, last and only time I've been to Ute Lake was a summer day trip over from Conchas Lake - I remember lots of snakes...
October is cooler, I don't expect as many snakes to be out and about.
Logan has 4 motels according to their website, so that's a plus.
Late October should be 60's for highs, 40's for lows and the wind shouldn't be bad.
Closest airport is Amarillo by about 50 miles. ABQ is next closest.
