Stoned in New Mexico

Our trip today from Las Cruces to Silver City was pretty neat. While most of it was through desert, the view changed quite a bit as we rose in altitude. In Las Cruces we were about 5000 ft. Tonight we are at 6000 and that was after only 125 miles. We took a short detour, to a natural site called city of Rocks State Park. These huge rocks were deposited here "way back" from a volcano 180 miles way. It apparently was 1000 times more powerful than that of St.Helens. The ones that Sue is standing by are some of the smaller stones. We are at 6,000 ft as I mentioned and now at 4:00pm it is 61F, however the weather man, who always tells the truth , says there is a chance of snow tonight. The desert certainly cools off at night. Yesterday was in the mid 60's and there was light frost this morning.
