We moved today to Rock Hound State Park 10 miles southeast of Deming, NM. Since just before dark we have had wind, rain and some lightening.
This is the view when we arrived.
Campsite photos, these are really large sites and we have the highest one in the park. Yes it’s a great view.
Another site pictures.
Yesterday during our trip north we also visited Smokey Bear Historical Park
Smokey Bear was a cub when he was found clinging to a tree after a fire had burned through the forest near Capitan, NM. He was taken to a vet and than became the mascot for preventing forest fires. Hank was not allowed in the museum so Jean and I took turns caring for Hank and looking at the displays.
Smokey was laid to rest here.
Here are a couple of pictures I took at Fort Stanton.
Housing on officer’s row.
The area has an active group of people supporting the history of this fort. This is one of several people working around the fort and answering people’s questions.
