May 2016
Except for a few days in a little bitty corner of Texas, we
spent most of May in New Mexico! I love New Mexico! Lots of things to do and
see and the people are very friendly! People always ask me; with all of our
travels what is my favorite state or place. I really don’t have one because
every state has its uniqueness, but New Mexico is definitely up there. We
started out in Las Cruces at Coachlight Inn & RV Park. Not much to look at
but the people are nice, it was clean and a good base for some interesting
things to do and see.
One of the sites we saw while here is Organ Mountains-Desert
Peaks National Monument. We learned that not all National Monuments are part of
the National Park System. This one is part of the National Conservation Lands
System. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. But whoever is responsible
for setting it aside and maintaining it, I’m very grateful. It’s awesome!

Because
it was early spring and lots of animals were having babies we couldn’t bring
the dogs anywhere in this park. I thought that was a good thing. After all,
protecting the environment is the number one priority for places like this. We
drove around took a few pictures then headed over to a place that we could do a
bit of hiking.
I don't even know if this place had a name.
The volunteer at the visitor center told us about it.
It was pretty awesome too!
And Jenny and Jackson are always up for a nice hike!
