Wok N Roll with us...Bob and Teri Along with Atlas and Kalani: Deming, New Mexico 4/23-24/2015

After several months in Mesa, AZ we are on the road again, headed to a June wedding in Vermont. Our first stop on the way was Deming, New Mexico. We were here a short time but there was still much to see. The courthouse was a beautiful structure and the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum was quite impressive. We were at the museum a couple of hours and due to them closing, we did a real rush visit through the second floor. The Mimbre pottery from 950-1200 A.D. housed in this museum was impressive in regards to beauty, quantity and condition. The museum housed many other unusual collections. There was entire room devoted to liquor bottles, another room with old vehicles including a 1909 Model T Ford, various artifacts from years gone by throughout and an entire room devoted to dolls from around the world. Included in the doll room was a doll Suzy from Hiroshima. Museum website

In the Deming area we also visited City of Rocks State Park City of Rocks SP The park is located at an elevation of 5259 feet and is home to some very beautiful volcanic rock formations. Some are as tall as 40 feet and the formations are almost 35 million years old.

Before leaving Deming, we drove down to Columbus, NM and walked across the boarder to Puerto Palomas, Mexico where we had a nice lunch and did some very minor local shopping.
