Wednesday we took a ride to see Rock City. Rock City is about thirty miles out in the desert from Deming and was created about 35 million years ago. This one spot in the desert has huge rock formations sticking out of the ground that wind and rain have shaped for millions of years. They made this place State Park and it has a very nice campground and hiking trail. Lynn and I did the hiking trail and wondered through the campground. I have attached some pictures.
Thursday we had a great Thanksgiving Feast at the hall. There were seven tables with about 65 people in attendance. The park cooked six turkeys with mashed potatoes for a two dollar donation and everyone brought a dish to pass, that's 65 dishes. We had everything you can think of dressing with or without oysters, sweet potato's, fruit salad, been salad, relishes, squash, rolls, mac and cheese, pumpkin pie and apple pie, cakes and more. Believe it or not I ate too much, again. Tomorrow is leftover dinner, so we can do it all over again. We will miss the leftover dinner because we are moving on, back up into the mountains where we can see some trees. We invited our friends Kieth and Zillah and Duane and Louise over for cocktails this evening so say good bye and talk about all the fun we have had here, thanks to them. We will miss you and hope to see you again. Next blog from the condo.
