Surprised!!!!

Yesterday we pulled into "Rock Hound" state park, here in New Mexico after a lovely day in City of Rocks SP. Rock Hound is one of Mary's favourite parks and she can collect rocks for home as the park encourages everyone to take 15 pounds of rocks when they leave. We were also hoping to see Carl, a Korean war vet, we met last winter. So far no Carl.

After lunch we went into Deming for supplies and when we returned found a business card stuck in our trailer door. It had a beautiful Airstream trailer pictured on the card and the names Mike and Connie. WOW! Mike and Connie are in the park. Went outside and looked around and there they were waving at us from across the park.  So wonderful to meet quite by chance here in New Mexico. We met Connie and Mike in Quartzsite a few months ago, said our goodbyes when they left and planned to meet in Parker. That didn't happen but we were glad to see them yesterday. We love surprises.

No pictures from Rock Hound yet but I'll share a few from City of Rocks.

Our trailer tucked into a campsite amongst the rocks.

Every campsite and section is named after a star. They have their own observatory here and on Friday and Saturday nights hold "Star Parties" How cool is that for a state park program?

Yes tress grow amongst the rocks, here in this hot, dry region of New Mexico.

Mary, checking out some ancient grinding holes.

Here are the holes created as the Indian women would grind their seeds to make flour. From here they had a beautiful view across the valley.

Safe travels and thanks for stopping by.
