City of Rocks


Sunday, we woke up in our second state park, in New Mexico, City of Rocks, to an amazing Easter sunrise. The last park, Elephant Butte, had the unusual combination of lake/reservoir and desert.This park has large sculpted rock formations rising as high as 40 feet and separated by paths and a maze of narrow passages. You are allowed to hike, bike, climb and camp amongst the 35 million year old rocks.This is a place our grandsons would love! The only hiccup we’ve had, during our visit, was realizing we had a sick dog when we arrived. Fearful she’d been bitten by something or injured chasing a rabbit, we traveled to nearby Silver City, to the wonderful Gila Animal Clinic, where a quick diagnosis was made that Starbaby had a flu like virus complicated by kennel cough. The Vet  ordered plenty of fluids, an antibiotic for her cough and rest. We feel like we are in an incredible place to allow her to recooperate and recover!

One last footnote; We are meeting so many incredible people in our travels but I rarely think to get their picture. I was so glad Rich and Pam agreed to pose for this photo after our paths crossed for the second time at Rock City.







So happy with our Dr.’s report
