Busy Schedule in New Mexico

Storm coming over the mountain.

We have been busy with new friends and enjoying new sites and thing to do. We tried to take it easy Saturday and Sunday, so we did a little shopping and went to a flea market and the Rock hound State Park. Rock hounding is very big here with lots of Quarts Christal and Agates in the area. Monday morning I had a suspension stabilizer installed that is manufactured right here in Deming. The new friends we have met here recommended this unit and the motor home has been getting blown around on the highway so I gave it a try. I took it for a test ride on the freeway after it was installed and it made a big improvement when driving in the wind. We joined the local Rock Club so we could use their equipment to cut and polish the rocks we have found. We went to the club Monday evening and sawed our Geo's and thunder eggs. We found some very beautiful agates and Christal's inside. Lynn worked on making a Quarts Christal Pendent and I am working on a multi colored Christal Ring. We are going to polish some of the thunder eggs and display them at home. Today we went site seeing and rock hunting with our friends Zillah and Keith. We hiked up a mountain in the desert to see some petrographic pictures the ancient Indians had made, there were a lot of them. After having a picnic lunch and doing some target practice we went to visit an old ghost town that was built in 1881 around the largest Silver mine in NM. After dinner tonight we went to an RV Resort down the road to watch a family Bluegrass band perform. A mom dad and three kids put on a great show.
We are busy all week. Tomorrow we are going to Mexico for some medications and shopping, wish us luck. Thursday the rock club is having their Thanksgiving dinner, so we signed up to go to that, they furnish everything and it is free. There is a hundred people signed up to attend.
Friday we are going to the big city of  Las Cruces with Keith and Zillah. I think we need to take the weekend off to rest and work on our rocks.
