We moved on from Benson, Arizona to Deming, New Mexico on Friday and spent the next day sightseeing in the area. The main attraction is a state park called the City of Rocks and it was truly an amazing place. The rocks look like someone BIG dropped them in a few clusters on the landscape and they are continuing to erode over time. There is a campsite at the rocks and hiking trails through and around them. Here are some photos:

After the City of Rocks, we drove to Rockhound State park and into Spring Canyon State park. They were interesting but not as spectacular as City of Rocks.
We left Deming this morning and drove through Las Cruces, New Mexico (looks like a nice place) and El Paso, Texas on I-10. We decided to push on to Fort Stockton, Texas for the night and had a longer drive of 5 hours and 38 minutes (552 km). We changed to Mountain time in New Mexico and now we are in the Central time zone. We don’t find it very hard to adapt to the changes.
It is warm here at 86 F (30 C) with 15% humidity, much nicer than the last few cool days. Things are certainly different here in Texas and we haven’t see any license plates from Canada for days. We are definitely a long way from home.
