my room at the Las Cruces adode
Touring by car through the mountains and steppes north and east of Las Cruces with C and S to see the country. City of the Rocks State Park was an architectural delight and the rocks were, in the words of the groom at the aforementioned wedding, an adult playground with an emphasis on camping in cool nooks in the formation.

visitors center City of the Rocks - some rocks to the upper left From there we wound through a mountain terrain passing through Hillsboro to Caballo Reservoir and north to Elephant Bluff lake which was a near mire of the Subaru in the sand. C and S took a dip and I admired the other fools who where driving to the lake edge.   |
On to Truth or Consequences and into the twilight zone. Cool but hidebound hot springs establishment, River Bend by name with a rigid and extensive protocol, but nice after an italian dinner at a cafe where the staff was generally unhappy about life let alone work. Back to the adobe on the interstate in the dark. Hard tourist day but dense with the locality and kind of compelling. The light, the wind, the locals.
