Finally----a new state!

We are now in Rockhound State Park near Deming, New Mexico.  Our site is up against the west side of the Florida Mountains with a great view down into the valley.  The only problem is that there is a STRONG  wind---25 mph, gusts to 40!    Despite that, we'll get out on the hiking trails today, with plenty of sunscreen, hats, and water.  It's not as hot as in west Texas, and there's definitely a change in temperatures between afternoon and night!  It was in the mid-50's this morning, almost chilly. 
Dan's enjoying identifying some of the desert birds.  A good way to spend his birthday!
