Feb 3 - 4 - City or Rocks State Park, NM



What a gem in the middle of "No Where", New Mexico. Popping out of the flat lands north of Deming is the "City of Rocks" State Park. We had attended an astronomy class here one night in January and decided to come back for a few days to explore it a little more.

There are wonderful walking trails through and around the rocks. One can spend days exploring this magnificant place.



One of the other surprising things we encountered was the absence of sound, silence. It came almost as a shock as we stood on a lookout point and stopped. We heard nothing. there was no wind, road or animal noises at that time. Nothing but the sound of our breathing. What an experience. We were amazed at just how noisy our everyday lives are.
The park is very nice for camping. We had water and electric at our site. We were very comfortable. This is a place that we will revisit once again.
