Farewell to City of Rocks State Park, NM

We have now completed our three months as camp hosts at this incredible park. We have had great staff members and fellow volunteers. Our assignments have been interesting, rewarding and fun. We shall miss waking up to such a beautiful view of the mountains and the wondrous rock formations. We will never forget the clear, star-studded skies that are so pervasive here. The camp hosted three star gazing parties while we were here. The many friendly visitors with whom we shared great on-the-road experiences will be a lasting memory.

During our last week, Jerry briefed the staff on how to effectively present the three PowerPoint presentations he had worked to provide: Rattlesnakes: Dispelling the Myths, Mysteries of the Moon, and the Desert Grocery Store. On our last morning, the Park Manager stopped by our rig with a generous gift and a free two-week pass to any New Mexico State Park. We hope to use it in the fall of 2008. Upon departure, we elected to backtrack to Arizona for a few days before moving east to Texas.
