On the Raod Again

On the road to Las Cruces, NM for my Army reunion.  Took the interstate to just past San Antonio, NM.  A couple times I say signs for the Rock House just North of Elephant Butte.  Took the time to drive over 6 miles on a gravel road to get to the "house". 

From there, I drove 2-lane roads to South of Hatch, NM.  Noticed that the Hatch "valley" appears to be a very fertile farming valley.  Major crops are Pecan trees, cotton, green & red chiles, and some hay.

Checked into my hotel. Moved into my room. Visited with some of the other reunion attendees.  Most went to Crackel Barrel for dinner, I found High Desert Brewery.  Enjoyed a pint of their "Oktoberfest" beer and a cheeseburger with tater tots.
