Rockhound State Park in New Mexico

[Captjim_NM]

Great place to run away from everyone and everything, spend Christmas camping in a state park. Rockhound is one of the premium parks in New Mexico. Built on the side of a mountain you can see for miles and miles out to the west or north. Great park for kids, lots of trails and you can keep all the pretty rocks you find.

If the rocks are gold, then I’ll be there tomorrow.

There are locations in New Mexico where people still dry-pan for gold.

The heck with panning or digging for gold. I was hoping to find some of these just laying around....
