Demming Site Seeing

Well we have been here a few days and have met a bunch of new friends and are having a great time. The weather has been in the 50's and 60's during the day and 30's at night with lots of sun shine. Lets see what have we done? Wednesday we went to the local rock club and they invited us back to learn how to cut and polish the rocks we have found with agates, Opel's and Christal's in them. We also went to the local Museum and spent about three hours walking around, it is an awesome museum. This town has been here since the 1800's and I think they have saved everything and put it in this museum.
Yesterday our neighbors Kieth and Zilla took us to the largest Winery in NM and we tasted wine and ended up making some purchases and then coming back to our rig and having a wine party ummmm good. After cocktail hour we went up to the clubhouse for a chicken dinner that was very good. We also went to the post office and picked up our mail.

Now I know why I don't like the Dintist.

This machine was in an old Hair Salon.
I think it was for perms.

Rock hounding at Bakers Mine.

Today our new friends Duane and Louis took us rock hounding to an old mine called Bakers Mine out in the desert and we found some real treasures, we think? We won't know until we cut them open with a saw, we know we have some nice Christal's because we can see inside the rock. We stopped in Columbus NM on way home and had lunch in a little Mexican cafe. Their were a bunch of Border Patrol guy's there getting lunch. Columbus is only about two miles from the border. We seen them again on the way back, they had a check point set up on the road and everyone has to stop and get searched by a drug sniffing dog. I was worried about my pipe tobacco and the pistol I had. We got through without a hitch and made it back to the park in time for the girls to attend the Thanksgiving dinner meeting and craft time. I think we will go over to Mexico for the day next week and visit some of the rock shops in town. Lynn says she is getting tired of all the activity and needs a day off to rest, I second the motion. Boy this is a rough life. Until next time.
