We left Alamagordo after a few days hiking and looking around. I think I wrote about that. Then we left there and went to the white sands and played for a day and had a good time. Got some good pictures there tho and think they are already posted. Think I talked about that place too, looking like driving around in between many feet of snow. Pretty funny. Everything is white.
Then we went to Demming and stayed at Rockhound State Park. They have many different kind of minerals you can hunt for and take home. We got some good ones, not as many as if we would have stayed one more day and climbed higher into the mt. Then the next night, last nite, we stayed at Rock City State Park the other direction from Demming and that was cool. Big monoliths sticking up in the middle of this flat area. Its great fun to climb around on the rocks and you can amble for hours in there, lots of great trails, in the rocks and out. It was cool. This a great nite time sky looking spot and the sky was clear as a bell and i could even see stuff with my binoculars. Almost a full moon, it was really nice till it got to cold to sit outside.
We hiked about two miles there this am before we even left so we got a late start and then went up thru silver city and are now in Arizona. We are camped for the nite in Wilcox. A little sooner than we usually stop but the wind has been pretty hard for the last couple days and it makes a big job out of driving this thing so Leroy has to stop sooner than usual. This am we let Diesel hike with us and he scrambled around on the rocks so he definitely put on more than 2 miles and he is soooo tired, it is so funny. But he had a great time, leading the whole group.
So now we must find our next campsite in Tucson and line up our visits with Dale and Jim. Jeff is coming on Tues next week and spending about 4 days with us so that should be fun.
I think Iris is feeling better finally. I was under the weather a couple days also, probably sympathy pain, ha ha. All for now.
