We arrived at Rock Hound State Park at about 10 o'clock. Our site was still occupied. Check out time is 2 o'clock. We just parked at a picnic table and walked around the park. They have a path with all the desert plants labeled. We strolled through part of it, but it is very long and fairly hilly so we didn't walk it all today. We hope to do the rest tomorrow. Kate and Terry Klein, who are camped here, came over to visit. We had e-mailed them a couple of times to get some information on this campground. They really like it here and have camped here more than once. The park is on a hill side at the foot of the mountain. It has a great view. At night you can see the lights from Deming, in the day time you can see forever. The weather was great in the low eighties with a nice comfortable breeze. We ate lunch out on the covered picnic table.

Poppies, some years the whole hill side is covered with these, unfortunately this is not one of the years. The ranger showed me photos of the hill side covered with them. It is quit impressive. This is just a little patch outside the visitor center.
