Rockhound State Park, New Mexico

Monday afternoon we enjoyed exploring the campground. Christopher and DeAnna became Junior Rangers after visiting the visitors' center. They also enjoyed playing on the playground near our site.

We decided to let them both sleep on the fold down dinette. They had a good time helping Grandma fix it.

Tuesday we went into Deming, New Mexico to do some sightseeing. Along the way, we did a couple of geocaches.

In Deming we saw a train at the visitors' center.

It was nap time when we got back. DeAnna took the sofa.

Christopher took the tent under the dinette.

After naps we went hiking on the mountain trail.

We enjoyed all the rocks in the area. The large boulder we are standing next to marks the first turn on the trail.

There are many rock outcroppings and places to leave the trail for rockhunting.

This area is known for thunder eggs. We found a few, but the insides were nondescript. We will look again later.
