We left Carlsbad and traveled through the desert, a mountain pass and then back to the desert once again, all in one day!
We ended up at Oliver Lee State Park in the Chihuahuan desert. The park is on the side of the mountain overlooking the desert and has a beautiful view. We saw some coyotes, different types of cacti, lots of birds and a few geocaches.
After 4 nights there we went to White Sands National Monument. 300 sq miles of white gypsum sand dunes…very cool…Michael enjoyed rolling down the hills…we had to make him strip off his clothes before he could go back into the RV…once the sand gets wet it sticks like cement…
We then drove further west to Rock Hound State Park, another beautiful state park on the Florida (Flo-rita) Mnts approx 45 km’s from the Mexican border and an hour from El Paso, TX. The price per night for a site with water and electricity is only $14, unbelievable for the views that we have!
The park is known for its collection of rocks to be found within it; geodes, thunder eggs, crystals, agates, jasper etc. We are allowed to take 15 lbs of rock with us but unfortunately we haven’t the slightest idea what to look for!
