City of the Rocks State Park is described as a geological wonder,
that rests beneath some of the darkest night skies in the country.We
went outside tonight at 9:30 to star gaze and I have never seen so many
stars in my life, its just incredible, that's why this blog is being
written so late.
The park itself is an outcrop of rocks
left from an ancient volcanic eruption that took place 33 million years
ago it was 1000 times greater than Mount St. Helens. It's like a giant
rock maze made up of huge boulders some 40 feet high.
The
wind here in New Mexico is supposed to be very strong tomorrow and may
kick up some very bad dust storms, and the temperatures are going to
drop, so its on to Tucson tomorrow.
