City of Rocks

[City of Rocks]

Here's another photo I took last Friday. Mom, Dad, and I almost went to the City of Rocks State Park southeast of Silver City on Thursday. But, after walking the Catwalk trail earlier in the day, we all just kind of pooped out. So, I decided to stop by the City of Rocks on my way home. Wow. I wandered around for way too long...about 90 minutes. Which, really, wasn't nearly long enough. But, since I was driving all the way to Fort Stockton, I shouldn't have stayed so long. Did I mention the "wow" factor? I could've easily wandered that place for a full day. As it was, I did lose my car once. Heh. I parked in a spot, walked up into the city, explored a bit, and then went back out toward where I thought the car should be. Ummmm...no car. Oops. I had a feeling I should turn right when I found my way back to the road that loops around the city. But, then, I got a bit of a nagging feeling that maybe I should check back to the left a bit first. And, just around the first bend, I spotted the tree I'd parked near. And, sure enough, there was my car. Whew. 'Glad I didn't go the other way.
